Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is, in essence, three things; a tribute to a great Methodist minister and scholar, a revealing autobiography of the author, and a thought-provoking exploration of the meaning of genuine religious devotion. John Alexander Roche (1813-1894) began his ministry in Smyrna, Delaware, in 1829 amid the fervour of a great revival. His life's journey would take him to important pulpits in Philadelphia, Brooklyn, and New York City and to the presidency of Drew Theological Seminary, where he taught for 36 years. In this book, Roche provides delightful insights into the 'Old School' Methodism of his youth, and thoughtful personal reflections on the value of books, the power of sermons, and the centrality of faith.
