A rare and wondertful volume that gives a rich variety of anecdotes and illustrations on nearly every chapter in the entire Bible. It is a tool that can be used by every Pastor, Teacher and Parent as they seek to bring windows of light into their lessons. "John Whitecross's user-friendly 'Anecdotes on the Old and New Testaments' is the best anecdotal volume for pulpit preparation that I have ever used. Most anecdotal volumes are packed with shallow theology, but this one contains great anecdotes that are dipped in the riches of Reformed theology. I recommend it wholeheartedly." --Joel R. Beeke

Excerpt from book: she was shortly alter delivered, by believing Oh the Lord Jesus as the only Saviour of the guilty. Such was Mr. Hervey's strict piety, that he suffered no moment to go unimproved: when he was called down to tea, he used to bring his Hebrew Bible or Greek Testament with him; and would either speak upon one verse or upon several verses, as occasion offered. -'This," says Mr. Romaine, 'was generally an improving season.

First, published in 1828, and passing through many editions in the last century, the book has been revised for greater usefulness today.
