Hamilton Smith (1862-1943), born in Barnes, Surrey, started work in the office of his uncle’s building firm. By 1901, married and with a young family, he had retired from the building trade and entered full-time upon the task of building up the church of God. His personal ministry was delivered in the United Kingdom, but his written ministry is still read worldwide. His written expositions of Scripture are brief: in keeping with a desire “to be nothing and to give Christ all the glory”. Yet they are clear and very much to the point: “We are to speak as those who, by grace, know the certainty of the truth they proclaim.”
The present volume is an excellent introduction to the ministry of Hamilton Smith. It consists of a collection of 14 meditations on a variety of scriptural subjects, including individual Psalms, incidents in the Gospels, and chapters in the Epistles. The author’s aim is to encourage Christians to a greater appreciation of Christ and growth into His likeness.
