Although Ironside is known for his prolific writing, captivating preaching, and gifted storytelling, he also penned numerous poems and hymn texts. This volume contains twenty-seven poems that cover the key themes of Ironside’s life and ministry, such as forgiveness, redemption, Christ’s return, and future glory. These poems complement Ironside’s other sermons and writings, but also provide inspiration on their own.
Harry Allen Ironside, one of the twentieth century’s greatest preachers, was born in Toronto, Canada on October 14, 1876. Though his education stopped with grammar school, his fondness for reading and a retentive memory put his learning to use. His scholarship was recognized in academic circles when he received honorary degrees from Wheaton College and Bob Jones University and was invited as frequent lecturer at Dallas Theological Seminary. Dr. Ironside was appointed to the boards of numerous Bible institutes, seminaries, and Christian organizations. He also served as director of the Africa Inland Mission. Ironside preached widely throughout the United States and abroad. He served as pastor of Moody Memorial Church from 1930 to 1948, and during his lifetime, he preached more than 7,000 sermons to over 1.25 million listeners.
