by Ian Shaw (Author)
In this book we encounter a man whose twentieth-century life and ministry mirrored a concern for faithful preaching, pastoral care, and the mission field. Leslie Land avoided labels, but his gentle, impeccably courteous, yet penetrating expositions laid the foundations of a Reformed evangelicalism which was to influence many in the United Kingdom from his church in Leicester. He would say, "I have sought to emphasise none other loyalty than Christ and His Word." The second half of the book gives a selection of extended outlines of his biblical, doctrinal, and experiential preaching, grouped according to declaring the gospel to those who were not Christians, the relation between faith and life, the life of the church, and the necessary defence of the gospel.
