G Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's classic guide to making and delivering religious sermons retains all of its authority and usefulness in the modern day. This book contains a simple series of instructions which focus and instruct upon key attributes all good sermons must possess. Using the Bible itself as a guide to dispensing wisdom in speech, Morgan introduces a number of points: how a sermon should commence by setting an atmosphere and receiving the audience's attention; continue by presenting a message that resounds; and finish by affirming the wise truth of the words as presented by God. The author was himself a famous preacher, who would famously captivate congregations with his passionately delivered sermons. Unlike many, less organized churchmen, Morgan wrote his own unique and strikingly eloquent sermons. These original works gained the admiration of scholars and lay worshipers, were influential in the evangelical movement of the early 20th century.

""If there is any excuse for this book, it is that it is an attempt to answer a question that I have been asked, certainly hundreds of times during the course of my work of preaching. The question has taken many forms, but it is essentially the same. It is an enquiry concerning methods of preparation in expository preaching. Individual preachers and groups of preachers have asked me to tell them how I work. I have always felt it difficult to reply. During the three years which I was President of Cheshunt College, Cambridge, I attempted to talk to the students on the subject. The notes of what I then said are embodied in these Lectures."" -From the Preface G. Campbell Morgan (1863-1945) was a leading Bible expositor in England and the United States.

""The prophecies of judgment fall into three circles. The first of these contains the messages of the prophet delivered in the course of a public ministry during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, and Ahaz. The second contains the prophet's teaching in the course of a private ministry following upon the break of the prophet with Ahaz. The third contains the prophet's messages in a public ministry during the period of the threatened invasion by Assyria. ""The messages of the first circle are largely concerning Judah and Jerusalem. Those of the second deal with the nations and the world. Those of the third have to do with the chosen and the world."" --From Chapter 1 G.

""Two pictures stand, one at the opening and one at the close of the book, presenting Job in the midst of circumstances of prosperity. "" --From Job: the Prologue G.

""Matthew was a Hebrew, whose calling in life was that of a tax-gatherer under the Roman government. His writing evidences his acquaintance with the Hebrew Scriptures, and especially with those which foretold the coming of the Messiah King. Thus, both in his religious thinking and in the prosecution of his daily calling he was familiar with the idea of government."" --From Matthew: Jesus Christ the King ""The only satisfactory introduction to the book of Revelation is found in the text thereof, which deals with authorship, nature, origin, method, and intention. Its earliest phrase constitutes its title, and indicates its content. It is the 'unveiling of Jesus Christ.' Our analysis is based upon the supposition that the key to the interpretation of the book is found in the final charge of Jesus to John, 'Write therefore the things which thou sawest, and the things which are, and the things which shall come to pass after these.'"" --From Revelation: The Unveiling of Jesus Christ G.

""The book opens with a picture full of sunshine and beauty. Job is seen in a three-fold greatness. The first fact of that greatness is that of his wealth; the second is that of his family relationships; and the third is that of his relation to God."" --From Job--The Problem of Pain: The Prologue ""Nothing more is known of Malachi than the book which bears his name reveals. The word Malachi means messenger, and this has given rise to the supposition that it is a title rather than a name. While it is probable that Malachi was indeed the actual name of the prophet, its significance is most suggestive, for throughout the prophecy the burden of the message of Jehovah is supreme, and the personality of the messenger is absolutely hidden."" --From Malachi--Unconscious Corruption G.

""In every direction people are turning anew to the study of the Bible. There are many ways of prosecuting that study. I am not proposing to enter into any discussion concerning the relative values of these different methods. In these volumes I am adopting one, which is most consistently expressed as being the first, and consists in an endeavor to discover the content and message of the Divine Library."" --From the Introduction G.

Evangelism - by G Campbell Morgan is one of those rare books that you won't want to put down. It challenges you to turn your faith active - as a church and as an individual. This book is incredibly well written by a man who was himself and incredible evangelist. Dr Campbell Morgan preached his first sermon aged 13, just after hearing D L Moody preach in London. The Spirit of God took hold of this man and he really did become on of the Masters' Men. The Masters' Men is a collection of classic works written by people who quite evidently were in the hollow of the Masters' hand. Each book has been carefully selected as an example of what God can do in a life abandoned to Him.

Description: Every person experiences God in some way. Unfortunately, we are not always mindful of His divine involvement in our lives. Lyle Pointer has talked with thousands of people about God. He identifies ways in which God makes himself known to ordinary people. Repeatedly he has been struck with the idea that God Is better than most people imagine. Lyle is convinced people would respond positively to a God they understand to be caring, involved and engaging. Better than Imagined tells multiple stories of how people have experienced God. Some stories reflect misunderstandings held by individuals in our time. Some of these same persons gladly put a new face on God and embraced Him in a loving relationship. They discovered Jesus to be an ally to be trusted, rather than an enemy to be feared. Join them in an eternal journey of exploration. The author welcomes your responses.
