"Dr. James W. Alexander's sermons are masterpieces of biblical, doctrinal, experiential, and practical preaching rolled into one. Here is preaching at its best-shepherding the hearts of believers, challenging unbelievers to flee to Calvary, and praising the majestic, gracious Triune God-all based on sound, reverential exegesis of the biblical text. A Shepherd's Heart helps fill the void of solid sermon material so prevalent today, and shows how penetrating good, timeless preaching can be. Buy and read, and let your soul delight itself in life-shaping truth." - Joel Beeke The Princeton Seminary professors, and many others, were convinced that the American pulpit had few superiors to James Waddel Alexander. Charles Hodge said that it was the combination of natural ability, wide scholarship, eloquence, and Christian devotion that made J. W. Alexander, "not the first of orators to hear on rare occasions, but the first of preachers to sit under, month after month and year after year." - David B. Calhoun
