“How would you like to sit at the feet of a pastor who served a single congregation nearly fifty years, soaking up his wisdom and insight into pastoral ministry? How much would you pay for such an opportunity? Thanks to Log College Press, you have this opportunity and you dont have the break the bank to do it. Thats because here you have distilled the pastoral wisdom of Francis Grimk, a hero of mine, who served a Presbyterian pastorate in Washington, D.C., between 1878 and 1928. What youll find is a feast that will guide you in the Lords service for his glory!”

“Meditations on Preaching is a helpful reminder of the serious nature of the pulpit ministry. Today it is easy to see preaching as an end in itself. However, Francis Grimk, one of the giants in African American church history, reminds us that the power and genius of preaching is in expounding the Word of God, not in echoing popular ideologies. For all who aspire to fill the pulpit, Francis Grimk s wisdom is indispensable.”

“I am nothing short of thrilled that Log College Press has published Francis Grimk's Meditations on Preaching. When Grimk says: "I have never had any desire to preach what are called great sermons sermons which display learning or ability, and which are relished particularly by the highly educated members of the congregation; but I have desired and have sought to preach helpful sermons, sermons that meet the real needs of the human heart in the midst of life s trials, struggles, temptations, sorrows..." it makes me want to sit down right there at his feet and learn. Grimk is a Presbyterian hero, but he is a blessing for the whole church. Read and be encouraged, fellow preachers.”
Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III
Chancellor and CEO of Reformed Theological Seminary, and John E. Richards Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology
“Log College Press has done the church a great service in collecting the reflections of an essential black voice from the Presbyterian and Reformed tradition. I am genuinely excited about this book because Grimk is a hidden gem that has remained buried for far too long. He was a man possessed of great learning and pastoral insight who ministered faithfully and courageously in a time of sweeping national turbulence and racial hostility. We can all benefit from the vision communicated in these pages.”

“It is a humbling thing, after a quarter of a century ministering in our nation's capital, to be brought into the presence of a pastor who had done the same thing, only for twice as long. His sermons are assigned reading for our interns. I had not before this read his thoughts on preaching itself. They are excellent. The arrangement of the material as brief excerpts and meditations make the book easy to pick up and to read in brief bits of time. I highly commend this volume, especially to the preachers among us.”
