Quiet Talks about Jesus

Here is a wonderful book about Jesus- who He really is and why God sent Him to this planet. With stimulating imagination, Gordon paints a remarkable portrait of this Jesus, the Man from Galilee. You will see Him as you have never seen Him before and understand Him more wonderfully than you ever thought possible. This classic writing describes His love, His mercy, and His plan for you as the unique object of his "wooing" love. You can actually feel His presence within as you read the yearning of His heart for you. Quiet Talks About Jesus, originally written in 1906, is one of the first books in the popular Quiet Talks series.
So far as I can find out, I have no theory about Jesus to make these talks fit
into. I have tried to find out for myself what the old Book of God tells about
Him. And here I am trying to tell to others, as simply as I can, what I found.
It was by the tedious, twisting path of doubt that I climbed the hill of truth
up to some of its summits of certainty. I am free to confess that I am
ignorant of the subject treated here save for the statements of that Book,

and for the assent within my own spirit to these statements, which has
greatly deepened the impression they made, and make. There is no question
raised here about that Book itself, but simply a taking and grouping up
together of what it says.

Most persons simply read a book. A few study it, also. It is good to read. It is
yet better to go back over it and study, and meditate. Since learning that the
two books on power and prayer have been used in Bible classes I have

regretted not including study notes in them. For those who may want to
study about Jesus there has been added at the close a simple analysis with
references. The reading pages have been kept free of foot-notes to make the
reading smooth and easier. The analysis is so arranged that one can quickly
turn in reading to the corresponding paragraph or page in the study notes.
A great musician strikes the key-note of a great piece of music, and can
skilfully keep it ever sounding its melody through all the changes clear to
the end. It has been in my heart to wish that I could do something like that
here. If what has come to me has gotten out of me into these pages, there
will be found a dominant note of sweetest music--the winsomeness of God in
