The Epistles of St. Peter

John Henry Jowett (1863–1923) was an English Congregational minister and one of the most admired preachers of his generation. He succeeded R. W. Dale at Carr's Lane, Birmingham, crossed the Atlantic to Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York (1911–1918), and closed his ministry at Westminster Chapel, London. Our library holds his devotional studies — Brooks by the Traveller's Way, The Friend on the Road, The School of Calvary — and The Passion for Souls.
