NEW COVER<\/p>\n
‘I found these twenty-one sermons to be a tremendous example of gospel preaching. If you\u2019re a preacher wanting to work on how to better preach the gospel from whatever text you might find yourself in, buy this book and study up.’ — JUSTIN BUZZARD<\/p>\n
Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones is most often remembered as the preacher of Westminster Chapel, London. But his ministry began far from the metropolis, in the industrial setting of Aberavon, South Wales. It was during this time that the sermons in this book were preached, and they show that from the outset of his ministry, Dr. Lloyd-Jones was an evangelistic preacher.<\/p>\n
Dr. Lloyd-Jones was filled with concern that no one should mistake, as he had done in his younger days, nominal Christianity for the real experience of salvation. The sermons reveal great insight into the plight of humanity, and a compassion for the unconverted. They are reproduced here as examples of what gospel preaching ought to be, and in the conviction that they will speak again to the hearts and consciences of new generations.<\/p>\n
