Life giving reflections on God's word.

As always, Havner Has the unique insight to identify the deficit And then in the same breath to give the answer to the problem. He had amazing insights into the life of the church. His writings still apply today.

powerful Ministry to us all.

Vance Havner has a special way of strumming the heart strings like no other preacher. I heard him in speak in a meeting in 1980. He made an impact on my life. Same with this book!

Havner has a way of writing that is both convicting and humorous. There are few books that I’d want to read a second time, this is definitely one of those.
