Though you may not know Gerhard Tersteegen by name, you will likely
find his hymn "Thou hidden love of God" in your hymnal. If you read
further, you will see that this hymn was translated by none other
than John Wesley - a great admirer of Tersteegen. Now you too can
be inspired by the same words that set John Wesley and countless
other religious leaders down the path to inner peace. The profound
spiritual counsel of this 18th century pastor is presented in this
volume in the form of short selections from 100 of his letters.
Tersteegen's emphasis on heartfelt religious devotion, ethical
purity, and charitable activity profoundly influenced the
development of various Protestant denominations, including the
Methodist movement. It is the beauty of Tersteegen's words that
have kept his hymns popular for over 300 years, but it is his
simple message of prayer and inwardness that is as timely today as
it was when they were first written.
