God's Eagles by G. D. Watson

If you’ve never heard of “eagle saints” before, this book is for you. Allow G. D. Watson to walk you through God’s Word and shine a spotlight on passage after passage relating to this fascinating subject.

In describing the book to the original publishers, Watson himself wrote: “It is a series of Bible expositions describing the destiny of the saints clear through all the ages, from the time of the new birth, on through life and death, translation and resurrection, the judgment of the saints, the marriage supper of the Lamb, the chaining of Satan, the millennial reign, and the New Jerusalem, so as to present to the Lord’s people a continuous history of the saints clear through. I do not know of any other book in the world that presents such a delineation of the destiny of God’s people. I have had the book in mind for twelve years, and at last it is ready for print.”

About the Author
George D. Watson (1845-1923) was one of the most influential preachers of the late nineteenth century holiness movement in America. Together with his friends and colleagues, Martin Wells Knapp and W. B. Godbey, he was used by the Holy Spirit to sustain and propagate the revival of Methodism which swept across North America and reached across the seas to touch even the British Isles and, in Watson’s case, the South Seas.

While serving in the army, he came to a saving knowledge of Christ, and after the war entered the ministry in the Methodist Church. He became known as a strong proponent of the sanctified life, employing a simple homespun style that endeared him to the common man. However, despite his everyman manner, his expository sermon method resulted in truths that are still applicable for the twenty-first century.
