About the author

Reverend Doctor George Campbell Morgan D.D. was a British evangelist, preacher and a leading Bible scholar. A contemporary of Rodney "Gipsy" Smith, Morgan preached his first sermon at age 13. He was the pastor of Westminster Chapel in London from 1904 to 1919, and from 1933 to 1943, pausing briefly between to work at Biola in Los Angeles, which he eventually handed over to Martyn Lloyd Jones.

Morgan was a prolific author, writing over 60 works in his lifetime, not counting the publishing of some of his sermons as booklets and pamphlets. In addition to composing extensive biblical commentaries, and writing on myriad topics related to the Christian life and ministry, his essay entitled "The Purposes of the Incarnation" is included in a famous and historic collection called The Fundamentals—a set of 90 essays edited by the famous R. A. Torrey, who himself was successor to D. L. Moody both as an evangelist and pastor—which is widely considered to be the foundation of the modern Christian Fundamentalist movement.

Reviews

[Lyndon · Rating 4 out of 5]

I can see why the few on Goodreads who have read and rate this gave it 3 stars. It's not an indepth treatise nor very comprehensive in its treatment of the topic of sermon preparation. And yet, initially given as a series of lectures in the 1920s and then compiled in 1937, this handbook does provide the rationale for some profound principles on preaching. At only 90 pages, I thought it worthy of a few hours of time and thought.

A very short book in pages , it's depths are a mere ocean of wisdom and grace. A true classic form a master teacher and preacher theologian.
