Best Sermons Ever - Softcover
In this inspiring and thought-provoking collection, Christopher Howse has selected sermons—all exemplary works in their own right—which range in temper from hell-fire to profound spiritual comfort. John Donne preaches on the Holy Spirit, Jonathan Swift on sleeping in church, Jonathan Edwards on the anger of God, and Martin Luther King, Jr. on his dream of the promised land.Some sermons are familiar, as are many of the authors, but this book is also packed with surprises—including remarkable sermons by John Wesley, Laurence Sterne, and Sydney Smith.Drawn from all Christian traditions, each sermon is introduced by a short note on the preacher and his or her time, and a contemporary prayer is added at the end.This unique book will edify, delight, and amuse. It is of quite exceptional historic interest.
