Description:
The abiding impressiveness of John Angell James' classic on the Christian ministry lies largely in the manner in which he presents one simple idea: "It is feeling which gives power to words and thoughts. Intense devotedness is the one thing, more than any or all other things, that is wanting in the modern pulpit. In a valuable article in a late number of the British Quarterly Review, the following sentence occurs: 'No ministry will be really effective, whatever may be its intelligence, which is not a ministry of strong faith, true spirituality, and deep earnestness.' I wish this golden sentence could be inscribed in characters of light over every professor's chair, over every student's desk, and over every preacher's pulpit."
