"We cannot but conclude that whereas to the Puritans communion with Godwas a great thing, to evangelicals today it is a comparatively small thing. The Puritans were concerned about communion with God in a way that we are not ... when Christians meet, they talk to each other ... but rarely of their daily experience of God".
J I Packer - "Among God's Giants" - Kingsway (1993) - (p282).
"The man who never reads will never be read. He who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own ... You need to read" - C H Spurgeon. "To fail to learn from the pulpit of the past is to impoverish that of the present" - Tony Sargent
