Author: J. H. Jowett

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.

About this book

A series of meditations on the suffering and death of Christ by J. H. Jowett, published in 1910. Jowett leads readers slowly through the events of the Passion, pausing over the words and bearing of Jesus, and draws out lessons of sympathy, forgiveness, and trust. The tone throughout is hushed and pastoral, suited to Lenten reading and private devotion.
