SD Gordon's Classic work Quiet talks about Jesus has long been an Evangelical Favourite. In this new edition we have modernised the text, added footnotes to explain social and cultural illustrations that may be obscure to the modern reader. Author's foreword: So far as I can find out, I have no theory about Jesus to make these talks fit into. I have tried to find out for myself what the old Book of God tells about Him. And here I am trying to tell to others, as simply as I can, what I found. It was by the tedious, twisting path of doubt that I climbed the hill of truth up to some of its summits of certainty. I am free to confess that I am ignorant of the subject treated here save for the statements of that Book, and for the assent within my own spirit to these statements, which has greatly deepened the impression they made, and make. There is no question raised here about that Book itself, but simply a taking and grouping up together of what it says. Most persons simply read a book. A few study it, also. It is good to read. It is yet better to go back over it and study, and meditate. Since learning that the two books on power and prayer have been used in Bible classes I have regretted not including study notes in them. For those who may want to study about Jesus there has been added at the close a simple analysis with references. The reading pages have been kept free of foot-notes to make the reading smooth and easier. The analysis is so arranged that one can quickly turn in reading to the corresponding paragraph or page in the study notes. A great musician strikes the key-note of a great piece of music, and can skilfully keep it ever sounding its melody through all the changes clear to the end. It has been in my heart to wish that I could do something like that here. If what has come to me has gotten out of me into these pages, there will be found a dominant note of sweetest music - the winsomeness of God in Jesus. It is in my heart, too, to add this, that I have a friend whose constant presence and prayer have been the atmosphere of this little book in its making.

Dr Black brings a sense of Godly conviction on the subject of honouring the preached word and he brings a ever fresh challenge the expectations of what the word will produce. I would urge any Christian who wants to take preaching seriously to read and absorb Dr Black's words. This Evangelical Heritage reprint is of Dr Black's original 1924 edition. The text has been edited with scripture references added, and over 75 footnotes to help the reader make the most of the text.

First Published in 1914 these great sermons are still alive with the power of God to transform lives. These sermons were first preached to the troops around the Bofurs guns in 1911 to troops on their way to the front line.
