“I have read no book that more carefully, thoroughly, and tenderly displays Christ’s heart.” — Paul David Tripp, President, Paul Tripp Ministries; author, New Morning Mercies and My Heart Cries Out
Christians know what Jesus Christ has done—but who is he? What is his deepest heart for his people, weary and faltering on their journey toward heaven? Jesus said he is “gentle and lowly in heart.” This book reflects on these words, opening up a neglected yet central truth about who he is for sinners and sufferers today.

Kan eet teruggeëis word as heilige daad, deels met die wete dat jy nooit
geïsoleerd is nie, selfs al voel dit so?
Hedendaagse verbruikerskultuur vergeet die onsigbare, minag die ontasbare en
maak ’n bespotting van die geringe. Is daar ’n lewegewende alternatief vir hierdie
kultuur? Ons kan dit verander deur Christelike spiritualiteit en die keuse om
aandagtig en bewustelik te lewe. Jy kan dit doen by ’n tafel – jy kan ’n sinnelose,
bedwelmde bestaan ontkom en jy kan sien en hoor wat jy nooit sal sien en hoor
as jy slegs ’n gewone verbruiker bly nie. Begin deur bewustelik te eet. Kyk na jou
bord, asem die reuke in, kyk saam met wie eet jy, besef dat iets moes sterf vir
daardie kos om op jou bord te beland, hetsy ’n hoender of ’n wortel. Die tafel is
die verbindingsplek, met jouself, die natuur, met ander mense en met God. Kry
balans in alles – moenie te veel eet nie, moenie te min eet nie, eet van alles, eet
volhoubaar.

compilation of excerpts from letters Christian missionary Frank C.
Laubach wrote to his father. Within them, Laubach shares his
findings of the greatest experiment of his life: attempting to live
in moment-by-moment communication with God. Short, simple and
extraordinarily powerful, this little book offers a profoundly
challenging but life-changing way of living. Laubach's letters are

this spiritual discipline - but also showing the joy, wonder and
transformation he experienced by connecting with God and living in
communion with him every minute of the day. Easy to read and full
of wisdom, Letters by a Modern Mystic is essential reading for
anyone seeking to deepen their connection with God or wanting to
make their spiritual formation part of their everyday life. With a
foreword by Pete Grieg show its continued relevance for today, it
will challenge you to see that it is possible to live in communion
with God in every moment and change the way you approach your
faith. Included at the back of this book is 'The Game with
Minutes', the practical guide Laubach developed to assist others in
applying the principles and spiritual practices in his letters. It
is a game that has transformed countless lives - and it is time for
a new generation to play.
