Quiet Talks on Service

About this book

Practical talks on Christian service by S. D. Gordon, from his Quiet Talks series, published in 1906. Gordon writes simply about the life that serves — its motives, its hidden costs, and its reward — following the pattern of Jesus, who came not to be served but to serve. Gentle in tone, it aims to make ordinary believers willing workers.
