These ten sermons manifest the warmth, honesty and fearlessness of both the preacher and his gospel.

Author  Robert Hawker , Baptist minister at Trowbridge for 42 years, falls into the category of those whose family background was not remarkable, whose formal education was minimal and whose natural gifts were unpresupposing; yet whose spiritual endowments outshone all else, and whose usefulness in the service of God was outstanding beyond all expectation. He is the man who baptized J.C. Philpot and is well-known and loved for his spiritual autobiography "Mercies of a Covenant God."
