Joel Beeke says:

Loving Christ and Fleeing Temptation was first published in 1765 as Select Sermons from handwritten manuscripts obtained by Gray's widow from a friend in northern Scotland. The present edition is freshly typeset and edited from the 1792 edition.

These fifty sermons show why Gray was so popular as a preacher. They make doctrine intelligible and practical. They powerfully speak to the mind and the conscience, comforting the regenerate, arresting the backslider, inviting the unsaved, and unmasking the hypocrite. Above all, they seek to win souls to Christ. As William Tweedie, 'Christ was the beginning, the middle, and the end of all his sermons.'

Gray's profound insights, poignant statements, and succinct summaries on the preciousness of Christ, resisting the devil, spiritual pride, temptation, prayer and many other truths are priceless. Gray is a master at presenting 'old truth' infresh ways. With the Spirit's blessing, let Gray's sermons lead you to Christ, convict you of slothful-ness, prick your conscience, and urge you to godliness.
