About this book

John Henry Jowett's lectures on preaching, delivered at Yale in 1905, on the preacher's zeal for winning souls. Jowett argues that passion for people is born in the preacher's own communion with God, and he joins that fire to careful study and tender pastoral sympathy. A short, searching classic on the inner life required for fruitful ministry.
