It's the book that played a part in the conversion of the famous evangelist, George Whitefield. See Arnold Dallimore, George Whitefield, The Life and Times of the Great Evangelist of the Eighteenth-Century Revival (Westchester, IL: Cornerstone Books, 1970), Vol. 1, pp. 72ff.Originally Posted by In His Grip

O send out Your light and Your truth, let them lead me; let them bring me to Your holy hill and to Your dwelling places. Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy; and upon the lyre I shall praise You, O God, my God. Psalm 43:3

It's quite brief, but well worth the pittance it costs to pick up a copy. I have found in it much encouragement.

I bought it because Piper recommended it. It's number 8 or 9 down my list of books to read this year.

I think it is one of the best books a person can read.
It helps differentiate true Christianity from religiosity and fundamentalism.
It is a real spiritual awakener if you seek God for it.
Give out lots of them to your friends

I read it in one sitting, about 3-4 hours with pause for meditation. It's the type of book you can't get up from until you finish it. It's an amazing book. I love it.

I too was greatly blessed by reading this book. My edition also had excellent introductory materials -- all of it was worth reading in detail and with much prayer. I originally read a borrowed copy, and went out and bought a copy of my own.
I don't know if its just a matter of where I am spiritually at a particular moment, but it seems like I can read some books and receive a great deal of knowledge, and I can read others that prove, while intellectually solid, to be deeply devotional and an encouragement in my walk with God. This work falls in the latter category for me.
