Riley The Bible of the Expositor and the Evangelist (39 vols) and various other books that are helpful to preaching and Christian life.

The Bible of the Expositor and the Evangelist
In July, 1923, Riley began preaching his way through the entire Bible — a series of Sunday morning sermons lasting ten years and eventually published in forty volumes as “The Bible of the Expositor and the Evangelist”

While not as extensive as other homiletical works, Riley’s sermons contain solid, practical thoughts for modern teaching, preaching, and study. Read Riley’s biography below for more about his life and work leading up to this set.

Seven New Testament Soul-Winners
Riley was a dedicated soul winner. Most of the 7,000 members of his church were added by baptism. He not only personally evangelized, he preached sermons motivating others to become soul winners. It was THE reason he believed he was on this earth. The sermons below were apart of a series on soul winning.

John Baptist – The Pioneer Soul-Winner
Andrew – The Fraternal Soul-Winner
Philip – The Faithful Soul-Winner – Acts 8:1-40
Ananias – The Skillful Soul-Winner – Acts 9:10-18
Peter – The Popular Soul-Winner
Paul – The Passionate Soul-Winner
Jesus – The Supreme Soul-Winner
