Information on Best Sermons Ever from the publisher:

In this inspiring and provoking collection, Christopher Howse has selected sermons -- all examplary works of the genre, and masterpieces in their own right -- which range in temper from hell-fire to profound spiritual comfort. John Donne preaches on the Holy Spirit, Jonathan Swift on sleeping in church, Jonathan Edwards on the anger of God and Martin Luther King on his dream of the promised land. Some sermons are familiar, as are many of the authors, but this book is also packed with surprises -- including remarkable sermons by John Wesley, Laurence Sterne and Sydney Smith. This unique book will edify, delight and amuse. It is also of quite exceptional historical interest.
