"As the small rain"

Edición de la obra "As the small rain"

Authors like Dr. Jones are not plentiful, and books like As the Small Rain are even rarer. Dr. Jones, with the skill of a connoisseur, lifts a jewel from the treasures of Scripture, and as the light of his intellect and experience gleams upon the gem, the beholder exclaims with sudden joy, "Oh, the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!" The author is a master -- not only of interpretation but of expression. These brief but provocative messages and poems (each of the ninety-eight messages is climaxed by an appropriate quotable poem) will delight pastors, radio speakers -- indeed, all those who present the Gospel. But this book is not only for those who cross mountains. It is also for those who are in a desert place, where no water is. To you, the weary in heart, these refreshing words -- words of courage and beauty -- will be "as the dew ... as the small rain ... as the showers." - Jacket flap. These articles, under the title "A Look at the Book," originally appeared in a syndicated column published in several hundred newspapers. It is conservatively estimated that in this form they have been read by several million people. From a great many of the columns appearing over a period of years the publishers have selected those included in this volume. Not only do they afford rich spiritual reading, but they also provide outlines, material and ideas for the construction of sermons and devotional messages. An appropriate poem in harmony with the theme of each article has been included. Together they offer interesting material for a brief radio broadcast. - Publisher's foreword.
