In this small volume by S. D. Gordon from his "Quiet Talks" series, the power and purpose of Jesus' appearance on Earth are discussed in a friendly, intimate manner. Not a scholarly writer trying to make his mark on the history of Biblical interpretation, Gordon speaks to Christian "common folk," as he calls them, who may not be priests but still wish to deeply understand the nature of God and the revelation of Jesus. In Following the Christ he explores the draw that Jesus had on all people: the promise that they would find comfort in his presence. American lay preacher SAMUEL DICKEY GORDON (1859-1936) was a devotional speaker in high demand throughout the early 1900s, as well as a prolific author of inspirational works. His "Quiet Talks" series includes Quiet Talks on Power and Quiet Talks About Jesus.

Samuel Dickey Gordon (1859-1936) was an evangelical lay minister and best-selling author. Gordon published some 25 books, most of which were devotional titles in the immensely popular series, Quiet Talks. Quiet Talks on Power explores all facets of the dormant potential for spiritual power in the life of the believer. Gordon reveals the channels of the mind to the cleansing power of grace, in order to prepare the heart for an inflow of divine power.
