This is a two in one volume set that is very rare. Spring is best known in our day for the Banner of Truth works "The Power of the Pulpit" and "The Attraction of the Cross." He is also known to many by his small volume "The Distinguishing Traits of Christian Character." Soli Deo Gloria has recently reprinted his treatise entitled "The Mercy Seat." These volumes, "First Things", bring before our minds the foundation upon which all life is built, as recorded in the opening chapters of Genesis. In a day in which these chapters are being challenged even in so-called evangelical churches and seminaries, Spring takes us back with absolute assurance that we are reading genuine history. Every page is filled with pure spiritual gold. You cannot read these pages without being strengthened in your faith in Holy Scripture.
