I remember one morning in a certain college village going over from the hotel to take breakfast with some of the boys, and coming back with one of the fellows whom I had just met. As we walked along, chatting away, I asked him quietly, Are you a christian, sir? He turned quickly and looked at me with an odd, surprised expression in his eye and then turning his face away said: Well, I'm a member of church, but - I don't believe I'm very much of a christian. Then I looked at him and he frankly volunteered a little information. Not very much. He did not need to say much. You can see a large field through a chink in the fence.

Ah! Such a life will be fairly fragrant with the very presence of God. (Zum Anzeigen anklicken. Warnung: Enthält möglicherweise Spoiler.) | |

This is one of the popular books in the Quiet Talk Series. It explores the awesome potential for spiritual power lying dormant in the life of every believer. In his unique descriptive style, Gordon avoids trite phrases as he prepares your soul to be connected to the divine source.
