This book is a series of meditations based on some homilies first preached to simple and good people.

We live in an age of practical atheism where men pay lip service to God and then do as they please. Our time is marked by a failure to meet our responsibility while believing that nothing will happen-that God will not judge His church as He's judged His people throughout history.
As we know, judgment begins at the house of God because the church bears the greater burden of guilt for possessing the greater privileges of God's covenant, grace, salvation,...
