Synopsis

A few years ago I was making a brief tour among the colleges of Missouri. I remember one morning in a certain college village going over from the hotel to take breakfast with some of the boys, and coming back with one of the fellows whom I had just met. As we walked along, chatting away, I asked him quietly, "Are you a christian, sir?" He turned quickly and looked at me with an odd, surprised expression in his eye and then turning his face away said: "Well, I'm a member of church, but—I don't believe I'm very much of a christian." Then I looked at him and he frankly volunteered a little information. Not very much. He did not need to say much. You can see a large field through a chink in the fence. And I saw enough to let me know that he was right in the criticism he had made upon himself. We talked a bit and parted. But his remark set me to thinking.

About the Author

S D Gordon (1859-1936) wrote more than 25 devotional books, most of which included the phrase "Quiet Talks" in the title. His first book sold more than 500,000 copies over 40 years. Though S D Gordon never achieved any academic degrees, though he was never ordained as a pastor, he was a much in demand, much loved, speaker of the deeper things of God, and traveled extensively sharing profound spiritual truths in simple ways. Born in Philadelphia, he served as the Assistant Secretary of the Philadelphia Young Men's Christian Association from 1884 to 1886. He later became the State Secretary for the YMCA in Ohio from 1886 to 1895. Following this service he spent four years traveling in the Orient and Europe on speaking tours. His first book, Quiet Talks on Power, was published in 1901 by Fleming Revell when he was 42. Three years later he wrote Quiet Talks on Prayer. In 1906 he wrote quiet talk books on service and Jesus. For a period of time he wrote two books a year. He eventually wrote 25 books.
