That Wondrous Name

The book represents the sweetest possible meditation on the names of the Lord, completed by the author during periods of increasing weakness before he passed into the presence of the Lord. Treated in detail are, “Jehovah; the Anointed Prophet, Priest and King; the Lord; the Mediator; the Shepherd; the Lamb; the Root and Offspring of David, the Bright and the Morning Star”. Every chapter is full of holy and precious thoughts, truly manifesting the author’s soul deeply in contact with his Lord. It is sad that the subsequent quality of production by editor, publisher, printer and artist did not match up to the spiritual standards set by the author.
