Endorsement<\/h2>\n

\u2018Surprising though it may seem in a world of large books, of all those owned by our family this may be the one we have most often lent or quoted to friends. It is full of rich spiritual wisdom and insight culled from the experience of a man who knew both the sorrows of life and the joys of faith in great abundance. . . . I pray that many readers will find here the help, comfort, wise counsel, and spiritual compass that we and our friends have so often discovered in meditating on these pages.\u2019 — SINCLAIR B. FERGUSON<\/p>\n

\u2018When we are dead and gone let the world know that Spurgeon held Rutherford\u2019s Letters to be the nearest thing to inspiration which can be found in all the writings of mere men.\u2019 — C.H. SPURGEON<\/p>\n

Book Description<\/h2>\n

The Loveliness of Christ<\/em> is a beautiful little gift book containing short extracts in which some of Rutherford\u2019s most helpful thoughts are allowed to stand out in their unadorned wisdom and power. Those familiar with Andrew Bonar\u2019s great nineteenth-century collection of the Letters of Samuel Rutherford will feel that this setting of brief quotations makes Rutherford\u2019s words sparkle like diamonds on a dark cloth in a jeweller\u2019s shop. It is not surprising then, that a hundred years ago, H. C. G. Moule, the Anglican Bishop of Durham, said in his simple but elegant commendation of the original edition of The Loveliness of Christ<\/em> that it was \u2018a small casket stored with many jewels.\u2019 It is the publisher\u2019s wish that the reader, in meditating on these pages, will find here help, comfort, wise counsel, and spiritual compass, and to say with Rutherford, \u2018Every day we may see some new thing in Christ. His love hath neither brim nor bottom.\u2019<\/p>\n
