The abiding impressiveness of John Angell James' classic on the Christian ministry lies largely in the manner in which he presents one simple idea: he argues that the effect of preaching is directly related to the heart-condition of the preacher, 'it is feeling which gives power to words and thoughts'. To command attention for the truth, its spokesmen must first be earnest, that is to say, be possesse by one single aim and by devotion which leads them to surrender all that would hiner its attainment.
