Preacher

This book introduces David H. C. Read to a new generation, through sermons that are not merely elegantly worded and biblically grounded, but packed with life experience that included a five year stint as a prisoner of war during World War II. From amongst the almost 1500 sermons that Read preached during his ministry in Manhattan, John McTavish has selected forty enduring messages that show David Read, justifying Time magazine's assessment that &quote;Read is not merely elegant and literary; his words carry authority... through his thought runs a strain of deep feeling and faith capable of convincing others.&quote;
