Product Overview
Deep anxiety about salvation is the most reasonable thing in the world. As immortal spirits destined for eternal bliss or everlasting misery, no question is more important than What must I do to be saved? This book answers that question in classic fashion. The author skillfully guides the seeking soul to the one and only source of salvation, the Lord Jesus Christ and his finished work on the cross. Biblical repentance and saving faith are clearly explained. The reader is also offered much practical advice on dealing with common mistakes, perplexities and discouragements encountered by those seeking salvation.
Although written primarily for those who have been awakened to their need of a Savior, The Anxious Inquirer can be read with profit by anyone, including those who have been churchgoers for many years, and especially those who are called upon to counsel people who are anxious about their souls salvation.
This book was tremendously popular in its day, going through six editions in its first year and selling over half a million copies overall. One of Mr. James biographers, John Campbell, declared that The Anxious Inquirer is immeasurably superior to Richard Baxters A Call to the Unconverted and Philip Doddridges Rise and Progress of Religion in the Soulboth enduring classics in their own right.
This is a reprint of an early edition printed in London. Nothing has been done to update the authors style or usage; however, punctuation has been updated, and capitalizations have been aligned to modern Christian publishers guidelines.
