A Heart for Missions

Author: Andrew Fuller Publisher: Solid Ground Christian Books Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 208 ISBN-13: 9781932474749 William Ward who had been profoundly influenced by Pearce's zeal and spirituality well summed up his character when he wrote not long before the latter's death 'Oh how does personal religion shine in Pearce! What a soul! What ardour for the glory of God! You see in him a mind wholly given up to God a sacred lustre shines in his conversation always tranquil always cheerful. I have seen more of God in him than in any other person I ever met.' At the heart of Pearce's spirituality both lived and taught was the theological conviction that 'real religion consists in supreme love to God and disinterested i.e. impartial love to man.' Measured by this standard there seems little doubt about the reality of Pearce's Christian faith and spirituality.
