🖊 My review: This book is a refreshing meditation on the truth of Jesus. While Byron Johnson Rees states that in writing this book, it “has been written in the midst of laborious and unceasing revival work. For this reason there has been no time to polish sentences nor improve style.” I did not find it to be wanting of editing; it is good as is. I did find, however, the choice of words here – “Jesus never went for the crowds—he hunted the individual.” – to be a little odd, that is, Jesus ‘hunted.’ I do not see it that way, but I do get the gist. A couple points that stand out to me: “Satan is very busily engaged in destroying and misrepresenting God's best experiences.” and “One of the lies which Satan is fond of circulating is that sanctification is a life free from temptation.” Both are true, and these points are well made.

✔️Published in 1898.

🔲 Excerpt of note:

🔹 We have all seen people who were never appreciated. Those who were near to them by blood and kindred always thought them strange and visionary.
