If you’ve ever wondered, why would I want to read a man’s letters, you have probably not read any of Rutherford’s yet. These are some of the most remarkable, devotionally rich letters in all literature, in the opinion of numerous students of church history. Charles Spurgeon called Rutherford’s letters “the nearest thing to inspiration which can be found in all the writings of mere men.”

This edition contains 69 of Rutherford’s letters on a wide range of subjects. Rutherford was the well-known author of the lyrics to the hymn The Sands of Time are Sinking, sometimes known by its name as a poem, Emmanuel’s Land.
