Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Tenderness of Christ
The truth of truths is that God is love, and that God in Christ is the expression of it. In you/ii I looked to tlzese very skies And, prooing tlzeir inznzensi'ies, [fimna' God flzere, His visible power, Yet felt in my licari amid all its sense Of Me power an equal evidence lat His Love t/zere, too, was tlze nobler dower. Surely Robert Browning would say to us, if we could get an answer from him, that a devotional book, if it is to live and move for an hour, must in a very real sense, though in a figure, be written on the knees. Of course he would bargain that there should be a certain literary quality about it (if it is to be had) thought, even if brawny and abruptly expressed, some knowledge of human and earthly things incidentally and judiciously interposed, always conduct at the end, and action out of conduct. Prt'bendary Unctuousness should be avoided: and nothing can ever make it safe for us to set ourselves on pinnacles. The one secret to hold fast is man liness. There should be experience, which need not be egoistic because it is fresh and warm with life; for all souls are cast in much the same mould.
