‘It has long been the favourite work of our peasantry in Scotland. One admirable property of [The Christian’s Great Interest<\/em>] is that, while it guides, it purifies.’ — THOMAS CHALMERS<\/p>\n All of Guthrie’s teaching and pastoral experience were poured into The Christian’s Great Interest<\/em> – his only book. The remarkable fact that it has gone through more than eighty editions and been translated into several languages testifies to its value. This book describes in a clear and attractive style what it means to be a Christian, and how to become one.<\/p>\n This book is all about Christ: the Christian’s great interest should be Christ; the unbeliever needs to develop an interest in Christ. It describes in a simple, clear, and attractive style what it means to be a Christian, and how to become one.<\/p>\n Preaching on Revelation 22:2, C. H. Spurgeon once said:<\/p>\n our Lord Jesus Christ is life from the dead, and life to his own living people. He is All-in-All to them. And by him and by him, alone, must their spiritual life be maintained…Jesus Christ is a Tree of Life and we shall so speak of him in the hope that some may come and pluck of the fruit and eat and live forever. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n This too, is Guthrie’s purpose. In the first part, he looks at how someone is drawn to Christ, what the evidences are of true saving grace, and the difference between a true Christian and a hypocrite. In the second part he describes how to ‘close’ with Christ, and deals with various objections, difficulties, and doubts.<\/p>\nBook Description<\/h2>\n
