The Passion for Souls is a stirring call to join Christ in His ministry of redeeming the lost. In it, we are called back to the Apostolic message of Christ's cleansing blood, the Apostolic methods of suffering and the demonstration of the life of Christ, and the Apostolic momentum fueled by the life of the Holy Spirit.
There is a wooing power in Jowett's writing which breaks down the defenses. He points out our failures with the finger of a friend. He is deliberate and direct but always conscious of his own need and his common failure with the people of Christ. He weeps as he pleads. When he cuts us, he bleeds. He will, I trust, because of his deep passion and obvious care, be let into the hearts of many to test against the pattern of the Scriptures our own passion for souls.
He is one of Christ's trusted physicians. He is vigorous and lively without being fanatical or impractical. He swims easily in deep waters without losing a single follower. His simplicity is profound and his subject could not be nearer the heartbeat of Christ.
