William Guthrie's
The Christian's Great Interest
A Part of the Puritan Paperback Series
Mr. Dave Carroll
This class is a study on William Guthrie's definitive work, The Christian's Great
Interest.
It was written, its author says, for those who "have neither much money to spend upon books, nor much time to spare in reading." It describes in a simple, clear and attractive style what it means to be a Christian, and how to become one.
