Thanks to Joe, a faithful reader and encourager, for introducing me to Alan Redpath. Here is a challenging quote from the Foreward:
Never was there a time when there was a greater need for men of passion, men of principle, men of Holy Spirit vision, in the service of the Lord. It is impossible for any of us to become any of these things unless first we have stood in the midst of the work which the Master have given to us and have seen the futility of everything that can ever come from our own imagined strength or weakness. These are lessons which most of us learn the hard way, and we learn them in a school from which we never graduate until we enter the very presence of the Master Himself.
~Alan Redpath, 1958, Victorious Christian Living, Studies in the Book of Nehemiah, p7
