...I take that back. Not a recommendation a BOOK PLEA....

PLLLEEEAAASSEEE read this book.

it will rock your world.

it will refresh your spirit.

it will open your spiritual eyes.

you'll never look at the Word of God or other people the same.

you'll never hear another sermon the same.

it is not scripture...it doesn't have that kind of Power.

But it will refresh your reading of scripture.

it's wow.

it's small.

you can do it.

a few excerpts:

"If we would find God amid all the religious externals we must first determine to find Him, and then proceed in the way of simplicity.  Now as always God discovers Himself to "babes" and hides Himself in the thick darkness from the wise and prudent.  WE must simplify our approach to Him.  We must strip down the essentials (and they will be found to be blessedly few).  We must put away all effort to impress, and come with the guileless candor of childhood.  If we do this, without doubt god will quickly respond."

"How tragic that we in this dark day have had our seeking done for us by our teachers.  Everything is made to center upon the initial act of 'accepting' Christ (a term, incidentally, which is not found in the Bible) and we are not expected thereafter to crave andy further revelation of God to our souls.  We have been snared in the coils of a spurious logic which insists that if we have found Him we need no more seek Him."

"When religion has said it's last word, there is little that we need other than God Himself"

"The world is perishing for lack of the knowledge of God and the Church is famishing for want of His Presence.  The instant cure of most of our religious ills would be to enter the Presence in spiritual experience, to be come suddenly aware that we are in God and that God is in us."

"[Self-sins] appear these days to be a requisite for popularity in some sections of the Church vivible.  Promoting self under the guise of promotion Christ is currently so common as to excite little notice."

"Imagination is not faith"

"God breathed on clay and it became a man, He breathes on men and they become clay"

"Our thought habits are those of the scientist, not those of the worshipper.  We are more likely to explain than to adore."

I just want to keep quoting!!!!!!!!

but, it'd be better if you read it ;-)
