Description
On a visit to Graham and Flora Miller in Australia in 1999, Iain Murray made an exciting discovery which led to the present book – 'bound volumes filled with my friend's firm and distinctive handwriting, containing memorable quotations gleaned from leading authors'. A selection of these is presented here. As Iain Murray says in his Introduction, they give 'a wonderful overview of the Christian faith to ponder and reflect on. I have found the contents humbling and inspiring.'
An A-Z of Christian Truth and Experience is the result of Graham Miller's lifelong practice of collecting and recording memorable quotations from leading authors. Now arranged alphabetically under subject headings, these sayings cover the entire range of Christian truth and experience. This is truly a store of priceless treasure, affording rich instruction and help to all Christians.
The power of a word fitly spoken has often been proved down through the centuries. Such choice statements of profound truth are like apples of gold in settings of silver, according to Solomon (Prov. 25:11). Some of the finest — from the The most influential thinkers and writers of all the Christian centuries is now brought together in this volume.
