Excerpt from The Friendship of Christ I was homeless, and wretched, and starving and in peril every hour; and He offered me Shelter and comfort and food and safety; but I was ungrateful still. At last He crossed my path and with tears in His eyes He besought me saying, Come and abide With me. Let me tell you how he treats me now. He supplies all my wants. He gives me more than I dare ask. He anticipates my every need. He begs me to ask for more. He never reminds me of my past ingratitude. He never rebukes me for my past follies. Let me tell you further what I think of Him. He is as good as He is great. His love is as ardent as it is true. He is as lavish of His promises as He is faithful in keep ing them. He is as jealous of my love as He is deserving of it. I am in all things His debtor, but He bids me call Him Friend. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
