In the Secret of His Presence: Helps for the Inner Life when Alone with God
Apart from strictly devotional books, a large proportion of the practical Christian literature of the day concerns itself rather with the outer manifestations of the Christian life than with its inner experiences. The Christian as he moves among men is in view, rather than the Christian as he is alone with God.
Books of this class are invaluable helps to Christian living, and can hardly be multiplied too much.
But, along with these, there may be some room for books of another class, books dealing specially with the inner soul-experiences which vitalize the life that is seen.
This volume is meant to be of such a kind : to set forth in some degree the sacred privilege of secret fellowship with God, and to urge the need of making that intercourse with Him more frequent and more prolonged.
If it helps any reader of it to realize more fully the joy to be found in the secret place of meditation and prayer, its purpose will be fulfilled.--Preface to Book

Loved this book! Def adding to my yearly reads. Had to sit with some of the chapters so it took me a while to read. Not one that can be rushed through in my opinion.

Waiting on God
It’s sad to say, but waiting upon the LORD in the stillness of prayer is a lost Christian discipline. “In the secret of His Presence.” Has been so encouraging to me! It has helped me greatly in experiencing unclouded communion with God. Bless His Name!

Great book!!
This eye opening book reveals the off neglected teaching of spending intentional, personal communion with Yahweh. I highly recommend this book to any believer.

So rich and full of wow! If I were to take notes from this book I would end up copying the whole text out. Loved it and will definitely read again!

Highly Desirable
This book is about a subject with which many, if not most, christians are unfamiliar: intimacy with God. If that is something you desire, this book is for you.
