GREAT SERMONS BY GREAT PREACHERS Compiled by Peter F. Gunther If you were asked to choose the eight greatest sermons preached from the time of John Wesley until now, which sermons would you choose?

George Whitefield, the great open air preacher of England, Wales and America could draw thousands any hour of the day and hold their attention with his powerful voice. With tremendous powers of description he called men to Repentance... The Responsibilities of the Christian Home is typical of Billy Graham's direct and simple message to the world to get right with God and then be made right with themselves... In his box David Livingstone carried Spurgeon's sermon, Accidents, Not Punishments, all over Africa.. .These and the other sermons in this book will bless and inspire every reader.

"At all costs, read the Religious Affections!" - John Piper The progression sketched in this little piece on a monumental spiritual work is important. When we encounter a great and holy God in all His beauty, we are stirred to live holy lives. So many of us want to live vibrantly before God, to experience the "fullness of joy" spoken of in Psalm 16:11. So, we make some resolutions, grit our teeth, and resolve to pray more and sin less. Religious Affections lays out the cornerstone of Christian thought of the mid-18th century. Impossible to ignore, Religious Affections demands a response. No one can read it and be unchanged. The level of discipleship it asks is shocking to modern readers, but ultimately necessary for our salvation. Religious Affections is a work by Jonathan Edwards now brought to you in this new edition of the timeless classic.
