Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Graces and Powers of the Christian Life Now that I am about to inform the readers of my book what place I would have it occupy in their esteem, I confess to an embarrassment I have not felt during its preparation. I know well enough what these words are to me; what they can become to others, I know not. Yet of this I am certain, they must not be read as a treatise upon theology, or even a book of sermons. To inflict upon a community worried by its legion of theological systems a new one, at the end of a six years´ parish ministry, or to offer discourses which, at best, are but a series of experiments in the art of pulpit expression, as models for anybody´s imitation, is not my present ambition. Of course, as a minister of Christianity, I shrink not from the consequences of what I do; and he who will show me any dangerous heresy, or defect in taste, in these pages, shall be reckoned so far my friend. But I confess I would rather hear that one man or woman had been awakened to newness of life by these my words, than that I had appeased the theologians and charmed the critics. My book, if anything, is an attempt to reflect a few of the "Graces and Powers of the Christian Life," as they have come to me, and I have been able to render them before the people to whom I minister. In selecting the discourses, I have chosen such as are valuable to myself, because they were written out of a genuine feeling, - often out of a vital experience.
