Arthur Walkington Pink

For thirty years, in comparative obscurity, A.W. Pink wrote and edited a magazine of biblical exposition titled Studies in the Scriptures. It was not until after his death in 1952 that the value of his work became more widely known and recognized. Now, twenty-five years later, hundreds of his magazine articles and series have been reprinted in scores of volumes, and his ministry has been viewed by many as one of the fore-runners of a new era of practical, biblical Christianity. In these pages we are brought nearer to Pink himself as he unveils his heart to a number of correspondents in a series of personal letters written over a period of more than twenty years. The insights which characterize his other writings abound here also. This first collection of his letters is a natural introduction and companion to his major works of biblical exposition. - Back cover.

The beginning of a nation arrests world attention; The bondage of a people evokes the full range of human feeling; the effective work of a human deliverer for one or a million raises human emotions to an exceedingly high pitch. In Exodus we have the beginning of a nation, Israel; we have the enslavement of a people, the Israelites; we have the arrival of a deliverer named Moses who carried through the demand of the Lord, "Let my people go." In spiritual terms we have the beginning of a Christian life, the acknowledgement of a power which will work in the Christian and for the Christian beyond the natural; the redemption from the bondage of sin, of Satan through a divine Deliverer, Jesus Christ our Lord. Christians young or old cannot help but be blessed in pursuing a reading and study of Exodus, second book in the Bible. In this book Arthur W. Pink provides you with hours of blessed study help for your spiritual enrichment. He gives thoughtful guidance for weeks on end for the teacher of a Bible class. Student or teacher may mine some of the richest of Bible ore from this book of Exodus and become the wealthier spiritually in possession of its mighty truths. We heartily commend to you Gleanings in Exodus by Arthur W. Pink. -- Jacket flap.

The foundation of all true knowledge of God must be a clear mental apprehension of His perfections as revealed in Holy Scripture. An unknown God can neither be trusted, served, nor worshipped. In this book an effort has been made to set forth some of the principal perfections of the Divine character. If the reader is to truly profit from his perusal of the pages that follow, he needs to definitely and earnestly beseech God to bless them to him, to apply His Truth to the conscience and heart, so that his life will be transformed thereby.Something more than a theoretical knowledge of God is needed by us. God is only truly known in the soul as we yield ourselves to Him, submit to His authority, and regulate all the details of our lives by His holy precepts and commandments. "Then shall we know, if we follow on (in the path of obedience) to know the Lord" (Hosea 6:3). "If any man will do His will, he shall know" (John 7:17). "The people that do know their God shall be strong" (Dan. 11:32).The papers which follow appeared first in the author's monthly magazine "Studies in the Scriptures," which is devoted entirely to the expounding of God's Word and a seeking to provide spiritual food for hungry souls.
