SALVATION of man’s soul is the theme of this collection of thirteen sermons by one of America’s best-known preachers. They deal largely with the value God sets on the soul—the great theme of the apostles and of our Saviour.
The title sermon shows the value of the soul in God’s sight, attested by Christ’s atonement on the cross. Dr. Macartney graphically describes how man may exchange his soul for worldly possessions and pleasures, or may gain for it eternal life with God.
The succeeding sermons reveal other aspects of the soul and emphasize the reality of the spiritual life. Using powerful illustrations from the Bible, history, and literature. Dr. Macartney takes up successively the plight of sinful man, the power of God, the supernatural work of the angels, the solitude and misery of the sinner before salvation, the might of the Redeemer, his judgment and mercy, and the revelation of God in Christ.
Salute Thy Soul is Macartney at his best. Readers will find every sermon dramatic, stirringly evangelical, and rich in illustrative material that is eminently applicable to life today.
