Excerpt from From Glory to Glory: Or Degrees in Spiritual Life The intense activities and the incon veniences Of an evangelist's toil and travel furnish greater inspirations than facilities for book-writing. But from the times of the apostles it has evidently been the mind of the Spirit that the pen should supplement and aid the tongue in the ministry Of the gospel. In writing this book I have been prompted by the same motives which impel me in the preaching Of the gospel. And I have looked to the same sources for help. The Spirit of God, the Word of God, and the people of God have been steadily before me from beginning to end. I hope these pages may be blessed in their perusal as they have been in their preparation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
