The author skillfully guides the seeking soul to the one and only source of salvation, the Lord Jesus Christ and his finished work on the cross. Biblical repentance and saving faith are clearly explained. The reader is also offered much practical advice on dealing with common mistakes, perplexities and discouragements encountered by those seeking salvation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough written primarily for those who have been awakened to their need of a Savior, \u003cem\u003eThe Anxious Inquirer\u003c\/em\u003e can be read with profit by anyone, including those who have been churchgoers for many years, and especially those who are called upon to counsel people who are anxious about their soul's salvation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was tremendously popular in its day, going through six editions in its first year and selling over half a million copies overall.
