{This page is a work in progress}
If any 19th century American Christian writer warrants reprinting, it is J. R. Miller! His writing style is delightfully smooth, his insights are spiritual diamonds on every page, and his pastoral applications are delivered with the skill of a well-seasoned physician of souls. (Pastor Bill Shishko)
His books are restful and soothing, full of quiet but fresh inspiration and cheery optimism. They have comforted and encouraged countless thousands of readers.
One friend paid this tribute to J. R. Miller: "We all loved him. His gentleness made him great. His winsomeness had no weakness in it. Somehow everybody felt drawn to him. He seemed so closely in touch with the best in heart and life. He was as gentle as a child, yet firm as a rock. He was lovable and helpful; always true, always tender.
Editor's note: J. R. Miller is a very profitable writer, who has tremendous insights into many practical aspects of the Christian life. But he does have some theological weaknesses—so he should be read with a measure of caution. His better books and sermons are bolded.
