Eighteenth-century minister William McEwen practiced the personal discipline of distilling his sermons into concise, accessible meditations. In this book, Gordon J. Keddie organizes McEwen’s essays to create a devotional tour of Christian doctrine. In ninety-eight brief entries, McEwen writes about systematic categories ranging from God’s perfections to death and eternity. This treasure trove of preached theology helps us see that knowing God will increase our delight in Him and all His ways.

“McEwen’s writing provides a breath of fresh air. These are heart-stirring essays that possess the rare combination of depth, clarity, and sobriety. Since all the chapters are short, each one could easily serve as a catalyst for daily personal devotions or as a supplement to family worship. It is bitesized systematic theology from a Presbyterian minister of the past whose work is well worth reading today.” —Jonathan Master, president of Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary
