Dr. Ironside's Bible: Notes and Quotes from the Margins - Paperback

by H. a. Ironside (Author)

A few moments of browsing through his Bible will quickly reveal H.A.I.'s devotional love for the Book, also his method of expounding it. He was probably the most famous exponent of verse-by-verse exposition of our generation. And literally thousands of sheep crowded the great Moody Church week after week for over eighteen years, because better pasture could not be found anywhere else. H.A.I.'s manner of marking the Bible is a fascinating study in itself. In fact, all flyleaves are actually covered with sayings, poems, diagrams, illustrations, epitaphs, and even Chinese characters, which he studied for recreation. Here and there, he has noted some of the great themes of the Bible, which signified the power and effectiveness of his preaching. But perhaps the richest of the treasure is the reading of his choice comments scattered over some fifteen hundred pages of Scripture, as written by him in the margins. This volume contains selections from the many marginal notes found in each of the Books of the great expositor's old Bible. If the reader will fit these notes with chapter and verse, he will find the map leading to buried treasure.
