Synopsis of the Book Robert Govett was born in 1813 and died in 1901. A fellow of Worcester College, Oxford, he possessed brilliant intellectual gifts and became highly respected by peers of his day. With an acute ability or gifting to use logic to weed out any weakness in a point of theology few men equalled him in ordered debate. As an author of numerous books and pamphlets, and a pastor of an independent fellowship at Norwich, England, Govett is best known for his insights concerning the judgment seat, believer's rewards, and the more practical aspects of sanctification. With his intense devotion to the Scriptures over the course of his lifelong study of the Word he also developed quite an understanding of the meaning behind many of the types, shadows, and symbols of Scripture. Though in recent years knowledge of his ministry and his message has been limited to a relatively small number of Bible scholars, this book places, within the reach of the Christian of our day, many of the deeper truths of Scripture; truths that burned in the hearts of Christians such as, Hudson Taylor, G. H. Pember, Evan Roberts and Jessie Penn Lewis, over a century ago. Containing almost three-hundred pages of powerful insights "gleaned" from his numerous writings, a great portion of what he attained from over sixty years of ministry and study is now available through this book in an easy to read format. - from Amzon
