"It is one of the mysteries of God's Providence why the life of a man like Percy C. Ainsworth should be cut off in its early morning. The volumes of sermons that have been issued since his death reveal a depth of insight into things spiritual as rare as it is indispensable. He was a true seer. And with this power of vision he combined an unusual gift of expression. The present volume reveals both characteristics. It contains a series of brief lectures on 'The Silences of Jesus.' It is beautiful and full of spiritual fervor--a book to feed the soul." -The Book News Monthly, October 1913 The Silences of Jesus was originally published in 1912, three years after Percy Ainsworth died of typhoid fever at the age of 36. This short book looks thoughtfully at various instances of Jesus' life and ministry when he appeared silent to the watching world. Newly typeset and slightly updated, this work draws us to look to Christ and listen to him, even in his silences.
