Description

Deep anxiety about salvation is the most reasonable thing in the world. As immortal spirits destined for eternal bliss or everlasting misery, no question is more important than “What must I do to be saved?” This book answers that question in classic fashion. The author skillfully guides the seeking soul to the one and only source of salvation, the Lord Jesus Christ and his finished work on the cross. Biblical repentance and saving faith are clearly explained. The reader is also offered much practical advice on dealing with common mistakes, perplexities and discouragements encountered by those seeking salvation.

Although written primarily for those who have been awakened to their need of a Savior, The Anxious Inquirer can be read with profit by anyone, including those who have been churchgoers for many years, and especially those who are called upon to counsel people who are anxious about their soul’s salvation.

This book was tremendously popular in its day, going through six editions in its first year and selling over half a million copies overall. One of Mr. James’ biographers, John Campbell, declared that The Anxious Inquirer is immeasurably superior to Richard Baxter’s A Call to the Unconverted and Philip Doddridge’s Rise and Progress of Religion in the Soul—both enduring classics in their own right.

This is a reprint of an early edition printed in London. Nothing has been done to “update” the author’s style or usage; however, punctuation has been updated, and capitalizations have been aligned to modern Christian publishers’ guidelines.

Comment
This is the second time that I'm ordering The Anxious Inquirer from Kingsley press. This time I gave it as a Christmas gift to several people that I know that are not Christians but are in my prayers. Last year I gave it to my adult children - a number of whom do know the Lord. I started reading it again this year - I especially love Chapter 3 - that's where I'm currently at - but I'm sure I'll say the same thing for the remaining chapters. This book is a blessing to read and I'm thankful to Kingsley press for making it available at such a reasonable price - a real blessing!
Comment
One of the most important books that I ever read as a Christian. I constantly have a pen in my hand to underline key section and I find that I'm underlining a significant portion of each page!

Great book - highly recommend it!
