Although the book is entitled Lectures, they are actually sermons delivered in the Sunday services during the ordinary course of Wardlaw's ministry. They are heartfelt, flowing with a sense of love for church and a passion for the equipping of the saints. Often a proverb may be given different interpretations due to the meaning of a single word. Wardlaw discusses the origins of these words and enumerates the different interpretations that commentators have given. His writing is easy to follow, and you can read through these sermons rather quickly, one reason being that you are caught up in his passion for the subject. It is a most helpful and inspiring book. -- Carol Morgan
