The Loveliness of Christ

By: Samuel Rutherford

Narrated by: Simon Vance

Samuel Rutherford, born in the early 1600s, faced many hardships throughout his personal and spiritual life. Despite the criticism of his faith, imprisonment for advocacy of the church, and his exile from his beloved hometown, Rutherford was still able to inspire the people of Scotland with his preaching. Rutherford is still an inspiration in the world of Christianity today through the letters he wrote, some of which can be found in The Loveliness of Christ.

Great book

This book has been a great comfort to me in my walk with Jesus. Simon Vance evens has a Scottish accent when he reads, adding to the experience.

Heavenward perspective

What a beautiful book full of quotes and letters that spur on the soul toward a sanctified perspective, life and all its joys and sorrows seen through the lens of our Saviour’s finished work. It required constant focus but it was well rewarded.

How lovely

This makes me want to know His love more and more. This is such a great read

Comforting!

I love to listen to this when I'm feeling sad or spiritually low. It always comforts me and gives me strength to go on in my pilgrimage through this life.

A superb best devotional on Christ.

Immerse yourself in some of the most sublime thoughts on the matchless Christ available for your soul's comfort and encouragement.

This is why S.R. was called

the "Heavenly Doctor." I will listen (and read) again and again, for I could not face a season in this life that something in here does not speak to. And speak well to. And I really enjoyed Simon Vance (always do!) and his Scottish accent. Thanks!

Excerpts from one of the best of all books!

This is so good! I always wanted to hear the letters read with the appropriate accent and pronunciation. The brief definitions of obscure words are also helpful.

This is a treasure to me, but it is short. I wish the whole of "The Letters" was available on Audible. (and I wait for "Fair Sunshine," by Jock Purves, who first introduced me to the Covenanters.)

Samuel Rutherford clears our clouded view and helps us see our Redeemer and our life with eternity's eyes. He is a pastor to us today, across oceans and centuries.

Note: There are comforting words here written to mothers he knew who had lost children.

Beautiful encouragement

Rutherford has deep insight into spiritual reality. He understands the struggles and temptations that the human soul faces, and with wise pastoral insight he calls forth new strength and fresh endurance for those who have grown weary in the battle.

Beautiful

This is a beautiful little booklet. I thoroughly enjoyed every word of it. Plus, Simon Vance is the best préformer on audiobook I can think it f.

Jesus will save the sinner

So eloquent a man can place such a poetic love for the Lord and Savior of this world.
