Samuel Brengle approaches his subject with a serious purposefulness and gentleness rarely witnessed in current Christian circles. It can perhaps only be compared today to the "blood earnestness" of John Piper's "Don't Waste Your Life Group Study Kit," or Mike Cleveland's testimony of transformational freedom from sexual addiction in The Way of Purity: Enjoy Lasting Freedom in Christ (Setting Captives Free).
This book was written before many of the modern biblical translations, so the wording of the "authorized version" is often a basis for further discussion, and the language of the work is itself just slightly archaic, so a competent and regenerate reader should quickly adapt to the feel and flow so as to have relatively little difficulty, though an update would be welcome.
Without convention or pretense; without a reliance on novelty, humour or wit to simply feed the hollow laughter of an intellectually-stimulated or otherwise entertained audience; with a resolute abandon to familiar forms, paired with a sober realization of the brevity of life; Brengle establishes a paradigm which enables his audience to gravitate away from wishing and dreaming about making a difference and toward the mindset and practices resulting in a fruitful harvest. In the same vein, he encourages the attitudes soul-winners possess which gives unbelievers' priceless souls an unspoiled opportunity to take root to a saving faith, receive nourishment, and grow steadily to maturity--from now to eternity.
