This book is a collection of sermons at different stages of preparation. The author has been preaching for 56 years to the keen interest and delight of audiences in Canada, the United States, Haiti, Brazil, Russia, Australia, Ukraine, Papua New Guinea and Ireland. He has, in addition, served as an instructor at Emmanuel Bible College in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada and at Ambassador Baptist College in Lattimore, North Carolina. In response to inquiries over the years, the reader will find sermons in their original handwritten form and various other forms all the way from skeleton outline to corrected, second generation manuscripts and transcripts ready for printing. The book cover advertises "14 sermons". However, the first sermon alone took four Sunday mornings to preach! It deals with an often overlooked and almost unfathomable fact: Our Lord and Savior, knowing full well the agony that awaited Him, actually sang in praise to His Father just a few hours before His brutal "trials" and execution. All the messages in the book are for the encouragement and instruction of preachers and the edification of church members and adherents.

Bishop David Atkinson undertook research in organic chemistry before being ordained. He served as Fellow and Chaplain of Corpus Christi College, Oxford. He was a Canon of Southwark Cathedral and Archdeacon of Lewisham before becoming Bishop of Thetford in 2001. He retired in 2009.
