03.00. THE CHRISTIAN

THE CHRISTIAN By William S. Plumer, 1878

"The Christian is a delightful and encouraging work, describing twenty-seven facets of the Christian experience. Altogether, it is an excellent, succinct presentation on what it means to be a Christian. This treatise could serve the believer well as a daily devotional as well as an evangelistic tool to explain the experiential life of a Christian to the inquiring unbeliever." Joel Beeke.
