Like Colonel Brengle's other books, this new volume from his
facile pen is intensely practical. It is a natural sequel to his
previous books on holiness. It will be especially welcome to
Salvation Army officers and soldiers, who have been taught to regard
soul winning as the main business of their lives.
To them the standard here raised will not seem too high, while they
will gratefully welcome the faithful warnings that point out the
dangers that beset a soul-winner's pathway.
The volume is, as usual, rich in Bible lore. Chapter and verse in
grand profusion are brought forward in support of every proposition.
The testimonies of forefront warriors of the Cross are also welded
in with the main line of argument in a way which cannot help but
fasten the truth upon the mind.
Many who have hitherto neglected this branch of duty, and have
suffered in their own souls as a consequence will surely be inspired
by these pages to rise up and make a new start. There is not a piece
of advice in the whole book, from cover to cover, that will even
tempt the weakest saint to despair, no fancied heights which will
appear to be beyond his reach.
Certainly none can read the book without getting a fresh impetus to
do and dare for God and souls, and none who carry out these
instructions can fail to become in the highest, noblest and most
lasting sense, successful soul winners. F. Booth
