Description
Abraham Kuyper (1837 – 1920) was a journalist and theologian who was also Prime Minister of the Netherlands between 1901 and 1905. A man of far-ranging accomplishments, his heart for God is best expressed in this collection of devotional meditations.
“For many years we may have had love for God in general,” he begins, “and never have known him. He is only known when love for him takes on a personal character; when we meet him in the pathway of life; when He becomes a person in contrast with our own; when we enter into conscious, vital and personal relation with him, so that He is our Father and we his children; not merely one of his children, but his child in a special way, in a personal relation different from that of his other children, even the closest relation conceivable in heaven and on earth; He, our Father, our shepherd, our bosom-friend and our God.”
