Christ Formed in the Soul" is a sermon giving a description what constitutes true faith and a warning about falling into superficial belief. Also included are three selections from "Rise and Progress of the Soul": "Self-Dedication to God" A prayer of consecration; "Do I Grow in Grace?" Is God working to advance my faith? and "The Well Spent Day" "Tips on how to spend your day. Also "Family Worship," the importance of family devotions; which is extracted from a letter "A Plain and Serious Address to the Master of a Family" Northampton Dec. 20, 1749.
Philip Doddridge (1702-1751), pastor of a Congregationalist church in Castle Hill, Northampton, is most remembered today as a hymn-writer and author of the spiritual classic The Rise and Progress of Religion in the Soul (1745). However, Doddridge was also a leading figure in biblical education, both for pastors and children, a founder of the Sunday school movement, and a pivotal character in revival and religious reform. He served as an evangelical link between such religious leaders as Isaac Watts (1674-1748) and George Whitefield (1714-1770). The Evil and Danger of Neglecting the Souls of Men is a sermon which distills Doddridge's care and concern for the role of the pastor, particularly, and the church, in general, in stewarding revival and evangelism. Church leaders would do well to read and take to heart the convictions bound in this volume.
