About the author
Born near Halifax, Yorkshire, John Henry Jowett was a British Protestant minister and devotional writer whose preaching made him widely known in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Reliable sources during this search agree that he served major congregations in Newcastle, Birmingham, New York, and London, and that his books centered on Christian life, prayer, and spiritual growth.
Jowett became especially prominent through pastorates at Carrs Lane in Birmingham, Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York, and later Westminster Chapel in London. He was known for sermons that aimed to be clear, vivid, and pastorally helpful rather than academic for its own sake, which helps explain why his writing continued to circulate so widely.
Some sources list his birth year as 1863, while others give 1864, so that detail appears to vary across references. He died in 1923, leaving behind a large body of devotional and preaching works and a reputation as one of the best-known English-speaking preachers of his generation.
