Adolphe Monod's Farewell (First Banner of Truth edition, 1962)

Description

Usually a minister’s most memorable work is done in the fulness of health and not in the weakness of a deathbed. Although in his twenty-five years of ministry Adolphe Monod had become, “the first of the Protestant preachers of France,” it is not by this that he is most remembered. While his life, so rapidly brought to a close at the age of fifty four, may be forgotten, his Farewell exhortations—delivered not in strength to hundreds as his other sermons had been, but to a small bedside gathering under the shadow of eternity—will ever hold a unique place amidst evangelical literature.
