The Lord is merciful and loving, and He gives all things to all; but He is also holy. In Him, there is no spot. And in spite of His great love for us, He cannot mingle and unite with us unless we resemble Him, if only a little; unless we have also put on an acceptable garment to enter the bridechamber of the Lord.

This is an exceptional book that challenges the reader to delve deeper into repentance and a true understanding of ones self. I highly recommend this book for anyone seeking a deeper relationship with God.
