Thomas Chalmers exhorts readers to remove the tangles of sin through the expulsive power of a new and greater affection—desiring God.

Thomas Chalmers (1780-1847) was considered by many the greatest Scots preacher of his day. From October 1841 - May 1847 Chalmers compiled these "Sabbath Readings" as he systematically worked through every chapter in the New Testament and Genesis 1 - 2 Kings 11. Like Augustine's "Confessions," these meditations are primarily written in the form and language of prayer. Here is Chalmers at his very best "They are precious fragments of immortal thought." - Charles H. Spurgeon
