Sam Jones' Own Book

Sam Porter Jones

4.9/5 (19730 ratings)

Description:Deemed the "Georgia Wonder," Methodist preacher Sam Jones (1847-1906) was one of the most famous men in late-nineteenth-century America and was among the first evangelists, along with Dwight Moody, to garner a national reputation. Jones was a master orator, and, after Moody's death he assumed the mantle of America's premier popular preacher. Sam Jones' Own Book was a national bestseller on its initial release 120 years ago but has been largely out of print ever since. The volume collects Jones' most popular sermons, each peppered with southern wit, folk wisdom, and straightforward calls for reform, like his clarion call to "quit your meanness." Throughout, the book ably demonstrates the unvarnished humorist and moralizing preacher at his cleverest: "Whisky is a good thing in its place," he declares in one representative passage, "and that place is in hell. If I get there I will drink all I can get, but I won't do it here." A brief autobiographical sketch recounts his personal trials and triumphs as well. This Southern Classics edition of Sam Jones' Own Book includes a new introduction by Randall J. Stephens, which explores the rise and reputation of Jones and the reception of his book.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
