Locked church doors and tossed rotten eggs greetedthe faithful and patient Charles Simeon in his earlyyears as a pastor. But in humility and simple powerhe was allowed by God to triumph. He became, asJohn R.W. Stott notes, "one of the greatest and mostpersuasive preachers the Church of England has everknown." Why did he have such an impact? You'lldiscover the reasons yourself as you read these clearflowing sermons, rich in content and clean in style.Shining through his words are Simeon's simpledevotion to pure biblical truth, his concise and orderlypresentation, and his pastor's mind and heart. JamesHouston's editorial preface is an instructive guide toSimeon's sound homiletical principles, while Stott'sintroduction is an engaging portrait of Simeon as aservant of God. Surveying his long life (1758-1836)and fruitful ministry, Stott is especially impressed bySimeon's refreshing, unaffected humility, and writes,"Our proud, self-confident, self-congratulatory generationurgently needs to recover this biblical perspective."Dr. James M.
