Book Details: In the depths of every man, there is a yearning desire, which cannot be satisfied from a merely intellectual standpoint. And David experience was the same as ours, both heart and flesh cry out for the living God. But God is Spirit and must be worshiped in spirit and in truth. The pulpit has failed to adequately represent the Christian faith of the New Testament. The great Saints of the past found all they needed in the Bible which sufficed for them should be enough for us. In the following pages the inquiring soul may be guided to that inner experience which culminates in divine union. It was Spurgeon who said, "Meyer preaches as a man who has seen God face to face." Short Bio Of F.B. Meyer: Frederick Brotherton Meyer was born in London. He attended Brighton College and graduated from the University of London in 1869. He studied theology at Regent's Park College, Oxford and began pastoring churches in 1870. His first pastorate was at Pembroke Baptist Chapel in Liverpool. In 1872 he pastored Priory Street Baptist Church in York. While he was there he met the American evangelist Dwight L. Moody , whom he introduced to other churches in England. The two preachers became lifelong friends. Other churches he pastored were Victoria Road Church in Leicester (1874-1878), Melbourne Hall in Leicester (1878- 1888) and Regent's Park Chapel in London (1888-1892). In 1895 Meyer went to Christ Church in Lambeth. At the time only 100 people attended the church, but within two years over 2,000 were regularly attending. He stayed there for fifteen years, and then began traveling to preach at conferences and evangelistic services. His evangelistic tours included South Africa and Asia. He also visited the United States and Canada several times.He spent the last few years of his life working as a pastor in England's churches, but still made trips to North America, including one he made at age 80. Meyer was part of the Higher Life Movement and was known as a crusader against immorality. He preached against drunkenness and prostitution. He is said to have brought about the closing of hundreds of saloons and brothels. Meyer wrote over 40 books, including Christian biographies and devotional commentaries on the Bible. He, along with seven other clergymen, was also a signatory to the London Manifesto asserting that the Second Coming was imminent in 1918. His works include The Way Into the Holiest:, Expositions on the Epistle to the Hebrews (1893) , The Secret of Guidance, Our Daily Homily and Christian Living . He had great influence upon such giants of the Faith as J. Wilbur Chapman and Charles H. Spurgeon. It was Spurgeon who said, "Meyer preaches as a man who has seen God face to face." In 1904-05 he served as president of the National Federation of Free Churches; and thereafter, was evangelist for that organization. He conducted missions for them in South Africa and the far east. For many years he was closely associated with the Keswick Conferences. Book Condition: - Boards: Bright Red hardback, beautiful, no fading.
