The Inner Circle

About this book

Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. - 1 Peter 2:9Three things may be said of the chapters in this book... First, they are based on the life and teaching of Jesus Christ, and they breathe His spirit. They represent the Christian life as conceived and illustrated by Him. They make goodness and kindness and fidelity winsome and attractive and desirable and they make selfishness and cruelty and falsehood odious and repulsive.Second, they are simply and beautifully written. Their author is a lover of beauty in all its manifestations, and he wields a graceful pen. Moreover, he is a lover and student of the poets and has taken from them "many a gem of purest ray serene" to glorify the theme in hand. Third, they have the merit of brevity. Any one of them can be read in fifteen minutes.The Inner Circle challenges and strengthens the heart, helping readers pursue a closer fellowship with Christ and a deeper commitment to His will.
