The Friend on the Road and Other Studies in the Gospels

About this book

A collection of short studies in the Gospels by J. H. Jowett, published in 1922. Taking its title from the risen Christ who drew near to the disciples on the Emmaus road, the book lingers over scenes and sayings from the life of Jesus. Each brief chapter turns a Gospel moment into quiet meditation and practical comfort for ordinary believers.
