The Fullness of Christ presents Octavius Winslow’s devotional treatment of the fascinating history of Joseph and his brothers. Winslow is peculiarly gifted at drawing our minds and hearts toward the greater Joseph and his brethren. His chapters on Christ revealing himself to his people, Christ as our brother, and the glory of Christ in heaven are alone worth the price of the book.
As is true of all of Winslow’s writings, this volume is a gem. Representing devotional writing at its finest, it is replete with Christ-centred memorable statements for spiritual edification. Use this book to treasure those sacred truths of Scripture that will mould your thoughts, words, and actions for Christian living. — Joel R. Beeke
Octavius Winslow (1808-1878) was ordained as a pastor in 1833 in New York, USA. He later moved to England where he became one of the most valued nonconformist ministers of the nineteenth century, largely due to the earnestness of his preaching and the excellence of his prolific writings. He held pastorates in Leamington Spa, Bath, and Brighton. He was also a popular speaker for special occasions, such as the opening of C. H. Spurgeon’s Metropolitan Tabernacle in 1861. After a short illness, he died on March 5, 1878, and was buried in Abbey Cemetery, Bath.
Winslow wrote more than forty books, in which he promoted an experimental knowledge of the precious truths of God.
