The work presents a sequence of pastoral talks that trace the roots and practice of Christian service, beginning with personal contact with Jesus as the initiating impulse. It treats inner life and outward action as intertwined, examining motives such as zeal for winning others, the role of companionship and partnership, and practical concerns including ambition, money, worry, and selection for ministry. Each chapter blends theological reflection, illustrative anecdotes, and practical counsel to guide believers toward sustained, humble, and effective service grounded in spiritual intimacy.
