PREFACE

        It is a joy to know that another book is available of the messages and sayings of the late
Bud Robinson. To provide a preface for this "labor of love" is indeed an honor for an "old-time"
friend of the Robinsons.

        It seems appropriate that during the Golden Anniversary year of the Church of the Nazarene
there should come again a book compiling the utterances of one of the most loved and appreciated
men of the half-century just past

         This book gives to the reader scriptural illustrations of human interest, shows clearly the
fall of man, his wanderings in sin's wilderness, the offer of redemption through the gospel, and the
way back to God and holiness of heart and life.

        There is not only interesting reading in these pages but homespun philosophy mingled with
orthodox theology. This book will stimulate faith on the part of those individuals who may be
seeking "the more excellent way" and lead them into personal experience. It will confirm the faith
of the sanctified and encourage them to hold fast their profession and increase their zeal for
conquest in evangelism at home and abroad.

R. J. Plumb
