The Philip Bennett Power Collection

by Philip Bennett Power

The Philip Bennett Power Collection consists of three books on faith. Divine Guidance - It is true, we have daily displayed before us the increasing knowledge of man-but knowledge is one thing, and true wisdom is another, and the world by its wisdom knows not God. The Feet of Jesus - The head of Jesus was crowned with thorns on earth; it is crowned with glory in heaven-and in either aspect we feel that it is a subject far beyond our grasp. It moves our feelings, it excites our admiration, and we wonder and adore-where we cannot understand. But the feet of Jesus! those feet which were weary, which were dust-soiled, which moved about the common haunts of man; perhaps we think we understand more of them. The Shadowed Face - The world which we enter upon with such brightness-is soon seen to be full of shadows; and the longer we are in it, the farther we travel into them-the more deeply and thickly they gather upon us, until we go down to the grave; beyond which all shadows flee away in the land of light-OR deepen into darkness which may be felt.
