Summary

"Parochial and Plain Sermons, Vol. VIII" by John Henry Newman is a compilation of religious talks from the late 1800s that looks at different parts of Christian belief and actions. The sermons focus on subjects like showing respect when worshiping, feeling the influence of God, the hard parts of believing, and why it's so important to listen to God. The stories from the Bible feature heavily in teaching moral and spiritual lessons, highlighting the importance of having a respectful and loyal relationship with God, while underscoring the importance of humility and wonder in one's belief system, just as Samuel showed when serving God.
