Publisher's summary

According to Christianity, man is an enemy of God and does not seek him (Romans 3). This short work from Thomas Chalmers shows what is necessary to move one from a life of enmity toward God to one as a child of God. It is knowing, seeing, and tasting God as infinitely valuable. Human beings are creatures whose hearts, like nature, detest a vacuum, and so to expel the sin and selfishness in our hearts, we must fill them with something that is better and more satisfying - namely, Jesus Christ.

Excellent sermon

Excellent sermon on the idolatry of sin and the heart of sinful man, the only cure for a bad desire is a right desire.

The Clear Message of the Gospel

I most highly recommend this beautifully written work. It may be the best distillation of the amazing grace of God found within the person of His Son, the Lord Jesus, that I've ever read.

counterfeit gods

this sermon is still very relevant because human nature remains the same, turning over the rocks within our hearts Chalmers shows us our unfaithful selves.

Performance was SO boring

Void of any emotion, Thomas would hate this reading. Such a powerful story. Yet told as if he were reciting lines of computer code.

Philosophically Complex

The philosophy and vocabulary are beyond my comprehension. The struggle to grasp this content exceeds my desire to finish the book.
