Selected quotes from the writings of JOHN ANGELL JAMES (1785–1859). John Angell James was a decided Calvinist in doctrine and beautifully balanced his convictions with practical piety in his life and his ministry. He was held in high esteem as a preacher and author, yet he was a humble and unpretentious man. In his own words, "It is my purpose, as God shall assist me by His grace, to labor more carefully for the edification, consolation, and spiritual improvement, of those who through grace have believed. I write plain truths, in plain language, for plain people."
