Excellent! Chalmers is pastoral and winsome. He's Shakespearean in that he can say one thing in scores of different ways while avoiding redundancy. His main message is this: "and the most effectual way of withdrawing the mind from one object is not by turning it away upon desolate and unpeopled vacancy, but by presenting to its regards another object still more alluring" (34).
I have long known the phrase "The expulsive power of a new affection" and was aware that it is a work by Thomas Chalmers but it is only now that I have taken the time to read this very encouraging sermon or essay in this beautifully presented form. It is not brilliantly written and seems to be a little repetitive but the main point is hammered home effectively and is very worthwhile to keep in mind.
Our Affection to Christ
This book was a good and short describing the importance of our affections and where they are directed in our walk as Christians. Are we loyal to Christ and are our desires towards Him? ...or the world?
