Arthur W. Pink Collection Vol 2 [Paperback]

Arthur W. Pink Collection Vol 2 includes three Arthur Pink classics; Comfort for Christians, The Beatitudes, and Regeneration or The New Birth. The work unto which the servant of Christ is called is many-sided. Not only is he to preach the Gospel to the unsaved, to feed God's people with knowledge and understanding (Jer. 3:15), and to take up the stumbling stone out of their way (Isa. 57:14), but he is also charged to cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show My people their transgression (Isa. 58:1 and cf. 1 Tim. 4:2).
