In the weekly Sword of the Lord, we have published some forty-five sermons by the late Dr. Bob Jones. Most of these were mechanically recorded for this purpose. We published Bob Jones Revival Sermons, a book of principal messages given in the Chicago Arena in our joint citywide campaign there in 1946. Dr. Jones was so gifted, so compelling, so inspired in his preaching, it seems that the next generation must have the impact of his preaching. He had published two other books, Here and Hereafter and Things I Have Learned, rich, shorter comments, but the great revival preaching and his life-changing messages in conferences on revival must remain available, too. We have selected sixteen rich messages, principally those we recorded, to fill this volume. Most of them were given in Sword of the Lord conferences scattered all over America. Two of them were chapel messages at Bob Jones University. We rejoice in the evangelistic emphasis in all Dr. Jones' messages. What a ministry! How many multiplied thousands were won to Christ in his anointed revival preaching! How many thousands of college students has he sent out to win souls and follow his oft-repeated injunction, "Do right!" They will remember a hundred burning, inspired slogans like: "The best ability is dependability." "Duties never conflict." "You can do anything you ought to do." I was with Dr. Jones two months before the Lord called him Home. He was 84, and very feeble, his great voice now not much more than a whisper. He did not know all of his friends but he knew me. We sang together his favorite song, "Amazing Grace." He had often asked me to sing it or to lead the congregation in singing it. I think we were as close as brothers. I often remember a prayer Dr. Jones prayed at the close of one of his sermons in the Sword of the Lord Conference at Winona Lake in the late forties. There was a certain transparent and childlike quality in his prayers so that we could see his heart. He prayed, "Lord Jesus, I have done the best I can for You today. Other people could do better but I have done the best I can. Lord Jesus, I would surely love to see Your face. If I knew that You were in China and if I could only see You ten minutes, I would go around the world to see You, Lord Jesus." That simple devotion, that utter belief in the Bible and taking it at face value, that Christ-like love for souls and all-out effort to do the will of God -- how characteristic they were! But now he has seen the Saviour's face and heard the "Well done, good and faithful servant," and has entered into the joy of the Lord. So we publish these sermons with the earnest prayer that God may bless them to many thousands as He blessed them before, when they were givein in the living voice of Dr. Jones. - John R. Rice, on jacket flap.
