Dr. Rufus M. Jones was professor of philosophy at Haverford College and author of such acclaimed works as "Studies in Mystical Religions" "The Inner Life" and "The World Within". He wrote this book in 1922 and revised it in 1949. His chapter herein called "The Near and the Far" is one of the best discussions of God's imminence and transcendence to be found anywhere. Dr. Jones also likens the growth in faith as the growth of a shell, and says, "Nothing is more common than to see a person holding on to a shell in which truth has dwelt, without realizing that the precious thing he wants has gone on and reembodied itself in new and living ways which he fails to follow and comprehend." (page 129). We recommend this book for all thoughtful persons who are or seek to embark upon a journey of faith.
