After His Likeness (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781505203837)

UPDATE: Corrected typos The late Dr. Douglas Southall Freeman, Virginia's foremost citizen, editor, biographer and historian, in 1939 said of Dr. George W. Truett: "He is one of the most notable figures of twentieth-century Christianity-a man to whom, along with millions of Americans, I owe a debt in spirit." There were many reasons for Dr. Freeman's estimate, one of them being the fact that Dr. Truett ever proclaimed a very high standard of conduct for Christians and always practiced what he preached. Every sermon in this volume emphasizes some phase of Christian living, such as witnessing, resisting evil, obedience, dedication of life, stewardship, giving Christ first place. For this reason the title is given to this volume. Three sermons herein were first published in 1915 by Fleming H. Revell Co. of New York in a volume of sermons by Dr. George W. Truett which was compiled and edited by Dr. J. B. Cranfill. The title of that first volume of Dr. Truett's sermons was We Would See Jesus. It is now out of print and the Fleming H. Revell Company has graciously given permission to reprint these sermons in re-edited form. Your present compiler and editor greatly appreciates this favor, because these particular sermons seem to fit so well in After His Likeness and also because they are so worthy of reprinting. They are: "We Would See Jesus," "The Temptation of Our Saviour," and "The Supreme Gift to Jesus." That first volume of Truett sermons went through seventeen printings, a high tribute to the value of the messages therein. What was said of Abel may also be said of George W. Truett: "He being dead yet speaketh." Powhatan W. James. Dallas, Texas August 1, 1954
