Christians often feel they lack something in their walk with Christ, but they don't know what is missing. Scripture contains several passages that can help them discover the secrets of the spiritual life. Secrets of the Spiritual Life is an intriguing book that brings to light the eight "one thing" passages found in Scripture. Two of David's psalms, the simple testimony of a healed blind man, gentle admonitions from Jesus to Martha and the rich young ruler, and bold statements from Peter and Paul all have in common the words "one thing." From these passages, Richard Stevenson develops ten themes that are the essence of the spiritual life: eternity, trust, grace, humility, generosity, devotion, fullness, surrender, perseverance, and readiness. Stevenson's winning combination of sound biblical study and a highly accessible style will appeal to individuals, Sunday school classes, and Bible study groups. He offers questions about each theme to provoke thought and stimulate discussion. This unique book will inspire and teach believers who desire a closer relationship with God.
