It is so great a thrill to stand on a high place and to look around in every direction to see that on all sides there is the natural beauty of God’s world. The towering trees, the rock formations, and the sky all blend into something which awes us. How amazing it is to know that the beauties of nature are here for our pleasure and for our use. This is the beginning of the very first sermon preached by James Robert Hartland. Pastor Jim served churches for over forty-one years. He blessed his congregations in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Ohio with his wit, wisdom, and sincere warmth. His engaging personality and love for people endeared him to each of his churches. This is a collection of his favorite sermons. They have a timeless quality that still speak to our world today.
