The Lord Comes Down: Select Sermons

At the end of his life, Daniel Rowland (1711–1790) described himself as “a poor sinner …depending entirely on the merits of a crucified
Saviour.” He preached for decades in a quiet corner of Wales and left few papers behind. Yet his impact was anything but small. Celebrated by
figures such as J. C. Ryle, Howel Harris, and Lady Huntingdon—some placing him second only to Paul or Whitefield—Rowland became a central
voice in the Welsh Awakening. For 55 years, he urged hearers toward Christ. No wonder Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones turned to the eighteenth
centur y—and often to Rowland himself—whenever he sought spiritual renewal.
These six edited sermons bring Rowland’s fervent, Christ-exalting
ministry to life once more. Readers will hear his gospel clarity, feel his pastoral warmth, and—God willing—experience “the Lord come down” as they read.Read less
