[Patti Townley-Covert · Rating 4 out of 5]

A true hero of the faith. Oh that I would be more like him. I saw J. Sidlow Baxter preach many years ago and have never forgotten how powerful his exposition of scripture was. He literally glowed with the love of Christ and I decided then that when I got old I wanted that kind of a relationship with the Lord. This book captured him well and reminded me of how far I have to go.
