This entire world is just one vast, dry desert, with the generations of men, lost travelers, following some will-o'-the-wisp or other - philosophical, psychological, philanthropic, political, educational, reformational, even religious suggestion-only to find them to be deluding mirages that rob them of what little hope self, sin and Satan may have left them. The rise of all sorts of cults, of off brand religions, of palm readers, of spiritualists, or clairvoyants, are but some of the signs of this thirst assailing mankind. No one has ever been able to find entire satisfaction for that burning...

ALTHOUGH these sermons are published by request, there is but one reason for sending them out into the world. The Lord has used them in the salvation of tens of thousands of souls, Jews and Gentiles, young and old. They are put out with the passionate prayer that the reading of them may win others to Christ. Every one of them was preached and written in the pressure, the drive, the heat of evangelistic service. There was little time for grammar, rhetoric, oratory, polish. Do not judge them too harshly. They come, each of them, from the burning soul, from the burdened heart, from the longing...

These sermons were preached, not written, not edited, but preached in burning anxiety, in pleading earnestness, in yearning appeal for the salvation and consecration of souls. They were born of sleepless nights and agony-filled days. They lay claim to no originality either in thought, outline or contents. Reader, judge them not as oratorical, rhetorical, grammatical compositions. They are the blood, the sweat, the tears, the hope, the faith of this humble preacher. God has been pleased to use them in the Holy Spirit. They are, every one of them, sent out humbly, by request. If the reading of...

Those of us who are waiting and watching for the imminent coming of the Lord JESUS CHRIST are constantly saying that the world will be on fire at His coming. We forget the fact that in many ways the world is on fire already. I believe we have in some way missed this point. This world of ours is on fire right now nationally. There is no great nation on earth that is fully at peace, not even our own United States of America. Think of the strikes, of the race problems, of the awful and many difficulties that beset us in our land. Multiply them by the tremendous burdens that are weighing down...

I AM greatly interested in the author and preacher of this volume of sermons. I had the pleasure of having him in my class in evangelism and of seeing him get ministerial instruction in his theological studies. He is a Christian Jew, and his conversion has all the signs of New Testament genuineness. Being called of God to preach, he chose the field of evangelism for his major operations, and the few years of his evangelistic labors have proved that he is an evangelist of a high order and that his sermons are vital parts of his soul. The subjects he has chosen cover the intensive field of...
