John McNeill. It frames the sermons as spontaneous, extempore messages preached worldwide, intended to let listeners mentally re-stage the words in the places and cities where they first heard them. The foreword also discusses sermon reception, the timing of “deflation” in pulpits and pews, and a case illustrating how Scripture can decisively convert believers, leading even an agnostic scientist to embrace faith.
