The Hopes of the Gospel by Arthur T Pierson and published by Classics.
Nothing has a more refining, purifying, exalting influence on character than holy expectation based on divine promises. Hope is the echo of the soul's noblest desires; and like any other echo, it answers you with increasing delicacy and ethereal tenderness of tone, losing more and more all coarseness and carnality. This volume groups together twelve discourses, whose common centre of unity is found in the various aspects of the Hopes which they present and to which they appeal.
The hope of this book is that after life’s trials and conflict, we may all find our mutual compensation and consummation in the presence of our Blessed Lord, will be the inspiration of the times to come. Meanwhile may our eyes be fixed on Him who is our hope; and, girding up the loins of our mind, which being sober, let us hope to the end for the grace which is to be brought until us at the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
