Miller","description":"\u003cp\u003eI sat on the back pew of our colonial-style seminary chapel and heard a sermon by Samuel H. Miller that I have never forgotten. I don't remember much of the content, but I do remember the picture he painted of a woman's brown high-top shoes. She stared longingly at the sea, waiting for her husband to return safely. The image of those high-top shoes, representing to me the common life and faithful love, has stuck in my mind and soul for fifty-nine years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a pastor, near the end of my sermon preparation, I would go to \u003cem\u003eThe Great Realities\u003c\/em\u003e to see what Samuel Miller had to say about my subject. Often there would be a quote that was just right. Sometimes he deepened what I was trying to say. At still other times, to my chagrin, he took me in an entirely different direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwelve years ago, I began a project of putting together excerpts from his first three books-\u003cem\u003eThe Life of the Soul\u003c\/em\u003e (1951), \u003cem\u003eThe Life of the Church\u003c\/em\u003e (1953), and \u003cem\u003eThe Great Realities\u003c\/em\u003e (1955)-that I hoped would become a collection of spiritual meditations. It all began one day as I was reading from The Great Realities and thought to myself that almost every paragraph was loaded with meaning. I felt the need to lift nuggets out and make them available for people who had read Miller in the past and had forgotten his books. And I felt the need to bring forth this deep, honest spirituality for those who had never heard of Samuel Miller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSamuel Miller has deepened and broadened my ways of thinking, believing, and loving. He has shown me vistas and led me to depths that I didn't know existed. He has helped me discover \"treasures in earthen vessels\" (2 Cor 4:7 RSV). He has taken me to the great abyss, at the edge of life and death, and given me a glimpse of the eternal that still brings tears to my eyes. In short, he has become my spiritual guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-15358742\"\u003eLarry C.
