Synopsis

James M. Gray (1851-1935) was an American Bible scholar, school administrator, editor, preacher, and poet. Born in New York City and reared in the Episcopalian Church, as a young man he prayed, "God be manifest to me a sinner." Known as a gracious and well-beloved Christian gentleman and scholar, Dr. Gray dedicated his entire life to communicating the Bible through speaking and writing. For 16 years he pastored the Reformed Episcopal Church in Boston. Dr. Gray championed the cause of Christ at Moody Bible Institute for 43 years as a guest lecturer, dean, president (succeeding D.L. Moody and R.A. Torrey), and editor of Moody Monthly. He authored 25 books and his expositions of the Word blessed nearly 20,000 students. Amazingly, however, Mr. Gray made this confession about his early years as a pastor: “For the first 8 or 10 years of my ministry, I did not know my English Bible as I should have known it, a fact to which my own spiritual life and the character of my pulpit ministrations bore depressing witness.” How did he overcome this problem? Thanks to a providential encounter with a layman, he learned a new way to read the Bible that revolutionized his approach to Bible study. In How to Master the English Bible, Mr. Gray reveals this simple method. By reading this book, you will discover why he later proclaimed, “To think that an ordained minister must sit at the feet of a layman to learn the most important secret of his trade!” Edited by bestselling author Wayne Davies of www.GodWroteTheBook.com.
