Pathways of the Deeper Life

About this book

There is a deeper way, a hidden path shaped by the Cross, the inward breaking, and the revelation of Christ within. Pathways of the Deeper Life invites the reader into the ancient journey walked by Andrew Murray, Watchman Nee, Jessie Penn-Lewis, T. Austin-Sparks, Evan Hopkins, A. W. Tozer, and other torch-bearers of the deeper Christian life. Through the surprising lens of the book of Esther, discover how God works in secret to purify, transform, and build His spiritual house. Esther's story becomes a picture of the believer's own spiritual transformation: the call to surrender, the purifying fire of testing, the breaking of the outward man, the rising of resurrection life, and the formation of Christ within. This book explores themes such as the deeper Christian life, the way of the Cross, the inward work of the Holy Spirit, union and communion with Christ, the recovery of the Lord's testimony, the building of God's spiritual house, and the eternal purpose of God. It points toward the victorious, Spirit-filled life that grows out of the inward work of grace. This is not a theoretical approach but a witness formed through personal experience and the quiet workings of the Holy Spirit. If your heart has been stirred for a deeper walk with Christ, if you have sensed the Lord drawing you into deeper waters, or if you long to walk the narrow road where Christ is formed within, this book is offered as a companion on the journey. For such a time as this.
