FEATURE

A new book on a quiet path to deepen Christian spirituality

The Quiet Way: A Christian Path to Inner Peace.

The profound spiritual counsel of a remarkable18th century pastor is presented in this volume in the form of short selections from 100 of his letters. Gerhard Tersteegen (b. 1697 in Moers, Germany) was personally sought out by thousands of Christians many years ago for his spiritual counsel, and now these collected excerpts from his letters give current-day Christians a chance to benefit from the same wise and loving advice on how to deepen our spiritual lives. The title, The Quiet Way sums up very well the path shown to us by Tersteegen: a path of gentle recollection, of unselfish charity, of the development of Christian values, all free of the danger of overly passional and often self-aggrandizing zeal.

These letters are easily accessible to almost any reader, and the warmth and wisdom of the wise pastor Tersteegen shine through every passage. His words are as inspiring today as they were almost 300 years ago. In addition to his spiritual counsel, Gerhard Tersteegen was also known for his many hymns, such as "Thou hidden love of God." The same beauty of speech found in his hymns is evident in these letters.
