About This Book

A series of pastoral talks invites readers into personal friendship with Christ and shows what following him looks like in daily life. Christ is presented as a compassionate, drawing presence whose call grows into a partnership for renewing human life. The author traces the believer's path—the main road and its valleys and hilltops—offering practical encouragement, interpretive signposts, and the support of fellow-followers. Throughout the tone is direct and devotional, emphasizing simple, actionable steps from inward companionship to outward service and culminating in the vision of meeting Christ face to face.

Introduction

These talks have been given, in substance, at various gatherings in Great Britain, Continental Europe, and parts of the Far East, during the past four years. The simple directness of the spoken word has been allowed to stand. Portions of chapters three, four, six, and eight have appeared at various times in "The Sunday School Times."

If any who read may find some practical help through the Master's gracious touch upon these simple words, they are earnestly asked to add their prayers that that same gracious touch may be felt by others wherever these talks may go.
