RUSSELL, A.J. (EDITOR). — If I Had One Sermon Only to Preach.

London: Nicholson and Watson, 1938. 1st edition. "The aim of this collection of sermons is to give a joint message that will be a stimulus both to Christians and others." Pp.viii/264, toning to endpapers. Red cloth, some fading to spine. Scarce. G+.** " In 1931 in England, a London newspaper editor, A. J. Russell, attended an Oxford Group meeting with the intention of exposing the group. But he wrote, “I came as an observer and became a convert!” (Russell later edited “God Calling”, which may have found it’s way into material used by the early AAs.)..Russell’s book, “For Sinners Only”, described his journey from prodigal son to the Oxford Group and became a best seller in the early 1930s in England and the United States, and was printed in eight languages".(AA).
