Title: Bob Jones' Revival Sermons
Description: These sermons were preached in a city-wide revival campaign sponsored by some two hundred Chicago area churches and Christian organizations in the Chicago Arena April 28 to June 2, 1946. Attendance reached approximately six thousand. The picture on the jacket and on the end sheets shows one of the audiences who heard Dr. Jones in this campaign. Since Dr. Jones preached the first two weeks of a five-week campaign (followed by Dr. Paul Rood and Dr. John R. Rice), these messages were laying the ground work for the campaign, reviving the saints, arousing interest, bringing conviction, and preparing the way for a blessed ingathering. Many were turned to God under the power of these messages. Although Dr. Jones was an evangelistic contemporary of R. A. Torrey, Billy Sunday, Gipsy Smith, and William Biederwolf, he is still going strong, seeing thousands saved yearly in great revival campaigns. To the vigor of his thought and the power of his preaching, the reader will testify. Dr. John R. Rice said in the introduction: "I am somewhat familiar with the printed sermons of great preachers. I heard Dr. George W. Truett many times during his prime. I have heard Scarborough, Philpott, Gipsy Smith, Sunday and Rader. He has something of the earnestness of Truett, the story-telling charm of Rader, the sweet simplicity of Gipsy Smith, the courageous convictions of Billy Sunday. I thank God that we can now have in print some of the old-time revival sermons by Dr. Bob Jones, Sr. Uncounted thousands have been moved by them, changed by them, blessed by them. May they burn anew in the heart of every reader!" - Jacket flap.
