This book is based on a Website News for Christians Plus preachers from the Plymoth Brethren movment which can be found on Stem Publishing site. All of the above sermons are in the public domain. You may save them on your computer for future reference. Some of the best sources of classic sermons have disappeared from the web overnight, so I would advise you to save those messages that are dear to you. Some of the bio sketches of the preachers featured here have been written by the editor using David L. Larsen's great work, The Company of the Preachers. Every preacher and teacher should own a copy of this one-of-a-kind book.

Over the next fourteen years she wrote home to her mother, Julia Stone Towne; these letters and Julia's letters back to her - the only published collection of sustained correspondence between a nineteenth-century American mother and daughter - create a deep and rich world filled with the ideas, affection, advice, and comfort that each woman gave to the other.
In How to Be a Pastor: Wisdom from the Past for Pastors in the Present, Van Neste and Wainscott have revived the neglected yet needed wisdom of a forgotten pastor, Theodore Cuyler. While Cuyler is all but unknown today, he was a leading figure alongside the likes of Spurgeon and Moody in his own day. Moreover, he was looked to as something of an ideal pastor, and his reflections from over four decades of ministry speak to important issues that are too often ignored in contemporary discussions about the role and responsibilities of pastors. While affirming the importance of preaching, Cuyler makes it clear that pastoral care of individual people is central to pastoral ministry. As he writes, “Set it down as a cardinal principle . . . that if you would interest people in the gospel and interest them in their salvation, you have got to interest yourself in them and all that belongs to them.” Whether you are just starting in ministry or have been a pastor for some time, the wisdom provided in this volume will be of immense help to you as you shepherd the flock of God that is among you.
