Description
Life of God in the Soul of Man was written by seventeenth century, Scottish minister Henry Scougal. It is a long letter, written to a friend who had lost the faith. Consequently, Life of God in the Soul of Man is supportive, and its tone is one of friendship and love, betraying a true passion in Scougal's work.
- Tim Perrine, CCEL Staff Writer EXCERPT (Preface, The Life of God in the Soul of Man) THERE are books which never grow old: and this precious little volume, by HENRY SCOUGAL, is to be numbered among them. In it is an eternal freshness and beauty, its bloom actually brightening with advancing time. These words, for two centuries, have been bread of life to thousands. They have, through that long period, guided, comforted, and inspired; from that fact, they possess additional interest, for they have stood the severest test, and been found adequate to meet the deepest wants of human nature in its most trying needs. This "Life of God in the Soul of Man" has something of that divine life within itself which can impart of its own fulness to every soul ready to receive. The very breath of Jehovah may be felt through it. It kindles in the soul a sympathetic power, and lifts it into connection with higher realms. With its holy fervor there is blended a natural calmness. Health and healing are in its influence. Practical throughout, there is also a heavenly spirituality. Rising above all narrow limitations, the devout of every name may hold it in reverence, and cherish its counsels with gratitude and love. To the young, it will prove, armor of strength; to the aged, perpetual renovation; while Christians of all communions will find within it a foretaste of immortality. The life to which it would lead is a heaven upon earth, and that is but the commencement of a heaven without end. To all who hold in honor Christ and his gospel, to those who would love God and man, to each one who would so live in time as to make it the joyous gateway to a glorious eternity, this little volume should be heartily welcome; and we doubt not such welcome it will widely receive.
