I want to read the Old Testament in a way that turns me to look at Jesus with the kind of devotion Winslow summons.

"Let nearness to Jesus be the distinctive feature of your religion"
I found this little treasure on the clearance rack at a local bookstore. Cast off and slightly bedraggled, I opened it's pages to discover pure gold. Within moments, Mr. Winslow became a favorite. His heart is large, warm, and pastoral and all of his powers are employed in the great work of extolling the infinitely glorious person of Jesus Christ. Don't miss this overlooked jewel.
