Writing
Wilkes produced a number of significant expositions of the scripture including the "Dynamic" series, "Salvation" and "Sanctification". R. A. Torrey said that if he could put only one other book besides the Bible into the hands of his students it would be The Dynamic of Service by Paget Wilkes. Wilkes also wrote poetry and hymns and translated many Japanese poems into English.

Famous quotes containing the word writing:
“Hidden away amongst Aschenbach’s writing was a passage directly asserting that nearly all the great things that exist owe their existence to a defiant despite: it is despite grief and anguish, despite poverty, loneliness, bodily weakness, vice and passion and a thousand inhibitions, that they have come into being at all. But this was more than an observation, it was an experience, it was positively the formula of his life and his fame, the key to his work.”
—Thomas Mann (18751955)
“I am writing to resist the view that Europe and civilization are going to Hell. If I am being “crucified for an idea”Mthat is, the coherent idea around which my muddles accumulated—it is probably the idea that European culture ought to survive, that the best qualities of it ought to survive along with whatever cultures, in whatever universality. Against the propaganda of terror and the propaganda of luxury, have you a nice simple answer?”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“To him Homer was a great writer, though what his writing was about he did not know.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
