Fawcett Christ Precious to Those who Believe

by

Christ Precious to Those Who Believe
The preciousness of Jesus Christ, to those who believe — practically considered and improved.
by John Fawcett (1740-1817)

“It is my earnest wish that this little book may be of service to enkindle and promote devout affection to Christ, in those who may peruse it.”

“Yes, He is very precious to you who believe!” 1 Peter 2:7

This is a 5 chapter work by Fawcett (a Baptist pastor) in which he examines 1 Peter 2:7, stating that Christ is precious to every believer. Not that there are anomalies in the numbering of the sections, and I do not know if this work is complete or not.
