E. Stanley Jones (1884-1973) was described by a distinguished Bishop as the "greatest missionary since Saint Paul." E. Stanley Jones was an evangelist, apostle, missionary, author of 29 books, statesman, Bishop-elect (who resigned before consecration), founder of Christian Ashrams, ecumenical leader and spokesman for peace, racial brotherhood, and social justice, friend to President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Mahatma Gandhi and constant witness for Jesus Christ.
This book provides the reader with the complete annotated text of fifteen of Jones' sermons that are representative of his career and that illustrate his twelve life convictions. It is timely that these sermons be made accessible to a wider audience for his topics remain relevant and his observations from nearly fifty years ago were often prescient. The sermons are presented in their entirety with annotations as needed to explain some of his references, sources, and illustrations to an audience who is reading them some forty to fifty years after he delivered them.
"Though written more than a half century ago, Dr. Jones' sermons still ring true enduring relevance today. It was always the aim of his speaking and writing to relate Christ's message to Christian faith and life. My long friendship with Dr. Jones truly changed my life, and it is my sincere hope that this book will introduce a new generation of Christians to E. Stanley Jones' life transforming and life-affirming message."
