About This Book

A series of devotional reflections and confessions that guide the reader toward intimate union with God through a heart-centred love rather than intellectual study or outward religion. It stresses shedding worldly busy-ness and petty concerns, learning to hold the living Jesus as a constant companion, and cultivating tenderness that deepens into love, repentance, humility, and transformed conduct. Practical counsel addresses prayerful attention, restraint of distracting doubts, enlargement of the soul's capacity to receive divine joy, and a progressive interior journey into conscious communion with God.
