About the Book
Letters of Faith through the Seasons Volume I provides daily doses of wisdom from the greatest minds in Christian his- tory. From John of the Cross and Martin Luther to Soren Kierkegaard and Amy Carmichael, the stimulating nature of their personal letters on such topics as faith, love, grace, and forgiveness will encourage you to move from faith-in-theory to faith-in-practice and into pulsating, living, inner, and intimate expressions and experiences of “walking with God,” and “being open before God.” James M. Houston has masterfully woven together prayers, devotional thoughts, and Scriptures to create the perfect daily resource to lead you to a more intimate relationship with your Creator.
