None But Christ (Wall)

The Apostle Paul has been referred to as “the know-nothing apostle,” based on his statement that he determined to know nothing except Christ and Him crucified (1 Corinthians 2:2). The doctrine expounded in this precious book is ‘Everyone Ought to Study and Learn to Know Jesus Christ.’ The author, in 33 chapters, shows why we must know Christ, how we come to know Christ, the signs of those who know Christ, and exhorts ministers of the gospel to preach Christ.

Endorsement

“Don Kistler seems to have a special gift for rediscovering long-forgotten Puritan works that are perfectly suited to our times. This is a compelling exhortation to give Christ His rightful place at the center of our thoughts and our words. It’s a truly edifying – and deeply convicting – word of admonition. Christians today, seeking to honor Christ while trying to keep up with the pace of twenty-first-century life, surely need this message even more than our Puritan ancestors did.” – John MacArthur
