Mr. Gordon halts his readers here and there, at some precious text, some outstanding instance of God's tenderness, much as a traveler lingers for refreshment at a wayside spring, and bids us hearken as God's wooing note is heard pleading for consecrated service. An en-heartening book, and a restful. A book of the winning Voice, of outstretched Hands. "That Dr. Gordon's Quiet Talks series have had unprecedented success may be proved numerically, since over a million copies have been sold. Of late this popular writer has been writing a set of commentaries of a devotional sort. His most recent volume is 'Quiet Talks on John's Gospel.' The distinctive message of this gospel of love is congenial material to one of S. D. Gordon's warmth of temperament. This book is a better piece of work than anything the author has put forth for some time. The wooing love of God is likened all through the book to the simile of Thompson's 'Hound of Heaven, verses of which head each section. There is very little textual criticism in this commentary; it is altogether devotional and spiritual - an uplifting sort of book." -The Christian Advocate "Dr. S. D. Gordon, the author so well known by his 'Quiet Talks,' directs attention in his 'Quiet Talks on John's Gospel' to the message of divine love. His method has in it nothing of verse-by-verse commentary, nor even of chapter study. Some precious text, some outstanding instance of God's tenderness, attracts the attention of the reader. He shows God's rare entreaty for the heart's allegiance and for consecrated service. It is the restful book of the winning voice and the outstretched hand, and not less interesting than the author's other books." -Northwestern Christian Advocate "This volume does not attempt an exposition by chapter and verse but rather emphasizes the thought that 'Jesus was God on the wooing errand to the earth.' The "Wooer' is so presented that He must win the truest devotion from those who accept Him; the wooing shows His appeal to all classes - cultured, ignorant, moral, vile; and to all nations, Jew, Samaritan, Roman, Greek." -The Christian Workers Magazine "This does not attempt to comment on all the themes of this Gospel, much less on all the chapters, but in seven chapters Mr. Gordon here seeks to suggest how God was in Christ wooing this world to Himself, that haply we in turn may be won to this winsome spirit and then aid in wooing others to God. Those acquainted with Mr. Gordon's other 'Quiet Talks,' which have been sold to the number of more than a million, will recognize how he is especially fitted to interpret John." -Record of Christian Work Contents I. John's Story II. The Wooing Lover Who it was that came. III. The Lover Wooing A group of pictures illustrating how the wooing was done and how the Lover was received. IV. Closer Wooing An evening with opening hearts: the story of a supper and a walk in the moonlight and the shadows. V. The Greatest Wooing A night and a day with hardening hearts: the story of tender passion and of a terrible tragedy. VI. An Appointed Tryst Unexpectedly Kept A day of startling joyous surprises. VII. Another Tryst A story of fishing, of guests at breakfast, and of a walk and talk by the edge of blue Galilee.

It will be seen very quickly that this little book makes no pretension to being a commentary on, or an exposition of, John's Gospel. That is left to the scholarly folk who eat their meals in the sacred classical languages of the past. It is simply a homely attempt to let out a little of what has been sifting in these years past of this wondrous miniature Bible from John's pen. The proportions of this homely little messenger of paper and type may seem a little odd at first. The longest chapter is devoted to only the opening eighteen verses of John, the prologue. While the whole of the first twelve chapters of John, excepting that prologue, is brought into one smaller chapter. It wasn't planned so, though I felt it coming as the wondrous mood of this book came down over me. I think it mast be the effect of the atmosphere of John's book.
