is out of all proportion to its length

Religion
English term or phrase: is out of all proportion to its length
'What do you recommend on preaching?' is a frequently asked question that can be answered in a variety of ways. There is always much to learn and there are many books to help us. But whatever else a preacher reads, YYYYYY's little masterpiece XXXXX is a 'must read'. Ryle packs more experience and sanctified common sense into two dozen pages than many others manage in a lengthy treatise. And, like all of his work, this one illustrates the very simplicity he commends to others. Here indeed os a work whose value and usefulness ***is out of all proportion to its length***.
