I am about to start a book study on "The Seven Sayings of the Saviour on the Cross" by Arthur W. Pink. Pink was an evangelist and bible scholar born in England in 1886. Pink came to America to study at the Moody Bible Institute and held pastoral positions in the United States, Australia, England and Scotland. He died in Scotland in 1952.
I first heard about this book from Tim Challies who is hosting a "reading the classics" event with bloggers from all over the country and perhaps the world. At last count there were 59 different bloggers participating.
From Warren W. Wiersbe:"
"When I began my ministry over fifty years ago, like many other ministers of my generation, I found great help in the books of Arthur W. Pink. His reverence for God's Word, his desire to exalt Jesus Christ, and his emphasis on practical obedience all helped to keep me balanced in the study, in the pulpit, and in my personal life".
From John MacArthur:
"Arthur Pink was a master of biblical exposition, carefully mining the biblical text for every once of true meaning, every nuance of doctrine, and every point of personal application he could discover. He always wrote with heartfelt conviction and persuasive insight. He was warm and positive yet bold and unequivocal".
The event starts on April 24th. Why not pick up a copy of the book and join us. I suspect this will be a very insightful study on one of the great Christian classics.
