Seeking Life Other Sermons PDF Download

Excerpt from Seeking Life, and Other Sermons With this volume the publication of the sermons of Bishop Brooks closes. His friends think it is better to stop somewhat short of exhausting the best of the material in their hands than to run any risk of including that which, however good in itself, must still be counted the second-best of Phillips Brooks, for no man can invariably reach to the height of his own standard of attainment. The series, as a whole, comprises sermons written in the various periods of his youth, growth, and maturity, and is representative of every quality that made him the great preacher of his day, listened to with keen interest and affectionate admiration, both at home and abroad. As a contribution to the forces that make for righteousness in the world, their value is inestimable; and their welcome by Christians of every name, by all who feel that the only worthy life is made up of love to God and service to man, is sure to be eager and cordial. Of the unpublished sermons many were written for special occasions, and therefore are not of interest to the general reader. Large portions of others have been included in various compilations; and it is intended to make a second volume of Lenten Readings, uniform with that entitled The More Abundant Life, from such portions of the remainder as are suited to the purpose.
