“We have much to learn from the Log College men. These sermons are soul- stirring reminders of the kind of preaching that the Lord used to draw many to Christ in a bygone age. It is a kind of preaching that is hardly heard today but needs to be rediscovered. My prayer is that the republication of these sermons will have the same effect as when they were reprinted by Archibald Alexander in the 19th century.”

“It is a pleasure to commend this volume of Log College sermons, for two main reasons. Christians increasingly live today ignorant of the history of Christ’s church and particularly of the men, and women, whom God raised up to stand for truth and righteousness in times as tragic and dark as our own. We impoverish ourselves by this ignorance. These twelve sermons, preached by seven renowned gospel preachers, will acquaint you with the experiential religion that so impacted America and Great Britain during the tumultuous years leading up to and beyond the Great Awakening. I have a second reason for warmly commending this volume of sermons. I have long failed to understand the distinction often made between devotional and theological literature. For myself, it has been classic theological works that have most impacted me devotionally. These sermons preach rich theology. They will stretch you, as well as instruct and humble you. Best of all, they will lift up your eyes beyond yourself to the God of all grace—which is where true devotion begins. Discover this for yourself.”

“Doctrinally rich, biblically sound, logically structured, and warm-hearted preaching permeates this volume. Additionally, the sermons serve to stimulate the mind, stir the affections, and strike the conscience, so that the reader adores the greatness and grace of God and applies himself to responding to sovereign mercy shown in Christ. The sermons of the Log College model necessary polemics as well that believers might properly value God’s amazing grace in salvation. Read and learn here the value of experiential, discriminating preaching of the gospel!David Gilbert”
