About the author
Born in Pembrokeshire, Wales, in 1855, James Morgan Gibbon became a Congregational minister after studying at Newcastle Emlyn and the Presbyterian College in Carmarthen. He was ordained in 1875 and later served churches in Swansea, Highgate, and Stamford Hill, London.
Contemporary reference sources describe him as an exceptionally popular preacher. During his long ministry at Stamford Hill, church membership grew markedly, and he built a reputation as a clear, engaging speaker.
Gibbon also published sermons and devotional or biblical works, including The Gospel of Fatherhood and Drawing the Net, and his name appears on editions of Men of the Bible. He died on March 14, 1932.
