Make this a priority

There are many volumes on preaching, but I have not found one as edifying as this. Yes, the structure is awkward, because it is a collection of thoughts and letters, as suggested by the title. However, the gems of Alexander's thought shine so brightly it is the most valuable resource I possess in this field. There are other books on homiletics organized by an editor into rather standard formats, but none of them are written by James Waddel Alexander. In addition, the handy size makes it quite nice for taking along and re-reading in spare moments.
