THis book has been written for the many believing Christians who from time to time are filled with dismay at the Word of the Lord, and who almost continually feel weary and discouraged in their struggle against sin. Ole Hallesby demands little introduction today. The author of the classic book Prayer (IVP) which has gone into many editions on both sides of the Atlantic, and sold in its tens of thousands, is widely known for his devotional writings. In this companion volume to that book the author provides us with moving and challenging meditations on biblical passages.
I might have chosen to emphasize a few theological points differently than this Haugean Lutheran pastor chose to, but essentially, he had a lot of things right. It is meant to be a Christian encouragement toward assurance of salvation for those who falter for one reason or another.
