Synopsis

This is the first book in Gordon's beloved "Quiet Talks" series of works, one that explores the mysteries of spiritual power: What is it? How do we claim it? What does it mean to be a "powerful Christian"? Through friendly, intimate conversation, Gordon explains how to welcome the strength of Jesus into your soul and feel its presence in your heart. Seekers after spiritual succor continue to welcome Gordon's wisdom and embrace his message more than a century after this widely influential work was first published. American lay preacher SAMUEL DICKEY GORDON (1859-1936) was a devotional speaker in high demand throughout the early 1900s, as well as a prolific author of inspirational works. His "Quiet Talks" series includes Quiet Talks on Prayer and Quiet Talks About Jesus.

About this title

About the Author

In the early 1900s, S.D. Gordon was a widely travelled speaker in high demand. A prolific author, he wrote more than 25 devotional books, most with the phrase "Quiet Talks" in the title. His first book sold half a million copies over 40 years! He died in 1936. E.W. Kenyon said that "S.D. Gordon is a sporadic outburst of divine grace. He is unusual, as are all of God's rare tools... he is perfectly balanced in the Word and in the Spirit. He represents that rare but vanishing class of spiritually minded men of the last generation." "The Treasury of Quiet Talks Selections from S.D. Gordon" (1951) by John W. Bradbury gives this brief biography (adapted): "Samuel Dickey Gordon ministered the deep things of God, he was not an ordained minister, He could boast no academic degrees, he was never doctored [he never received an earned or honorary doctorate]. Theological concepts he obtained from his Bible. A plain man, controlled by a deep desire to edify God's people, he won the respect of the learned and at the same time the affection of the simple.
