Overview

These practical sermons, written and delivered by the mother of the Salvation Army, challenge the Christian out of passivity and into action. The publisher’s preface to this volume remarks, “These sermons are a marvel of direct, earnest appeal to the hearts of all who seek to know the way of the Lord more perfectly. No one can read them without being profoundly stirred, and scripturally enlightened. They are suited to arouse the dormant energies of all classes to a better and more useful life.”
