"Its literary qualities will charm still another class of readers, for imagination has filled its pages with pictures from near and from far; fancy has lavished its every color upon them; they gleam with an unstinted splendor of rhetoric, or glow with an eager, consuming intensity of conviction."—Am. Church Review.
"The sermons are serious and conservative in theological position, practical and assisted toward their end by an unusual amount of illustration and metaphor."—The Independent.
"They [the sermons] are pervaded by an intensely earnest spirit, full of Christ and his salvation, and suited to be useful. The author's style and method of treatment are oratorical, and we find many vigorous and eloquent passages."—Lutheran Quarterly.
"The diction is always magnificent, always elegant, and the thought never fails of clearness."—The Living Church.
"They are true and brave and zealous presentations of questions of practical moment; and their perusal will give new strength and a new inspiration to every honest reader."—Syracuse Daily Journal.
"They are distinguished by remarkable intellectual force, point and brilliancy of statement, short, vigorous sentences, and a desire to benefit his fellows by teaching them the truth."—The Keystone.

"Not for a long time have we pored over pages glowing with so much gospel power and spiritual radiance."—Michigan Christian Advocate.

"They appeal more to the feelings than do the ordinary sermons of church pastors; but preaching of this kind is needed. The idea that all sermons must follow a fixed model, either in style and arrangement or in length, tends to a lifeless formalism. Dr. Cross has an original way, and is very strong in his presentation of truth."—The Churchman.
