This is a rare and precious book.It contains the choicest practical writings of a man whom God used to transform his native country and bring it into the light and under the blessing of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and that in spite of constant opposition and grave personal danger. This book includes such works as his treatise on prayer, his ‘Fort for the Afflicted’- an exposition on Christ’s temptation in the wilderness, and his notorious sermon on Isaiah 26:13-20. Fifteen of Knox’s letters also included, and twelve of which were addressed to his mother-in-law, Mrs Elizabeth Bowes. In them the temper and character of Knox the pastor are clearly exhibited.
