Will read and read again Sharon C Wilkins What powerful prayers at the end of each chapterI'm determined to live out this deep reaching dance of what is one heart, one love, one truth -the Triune of God. Tozer breaks it down in a way that makes me see that my only worth is in that I belong to God. I am Lodebar (a place of nought ), God is Grace ( love wrought)I am 'worship' (worship, being a verb ) God is Worship ( Worship, being a Proper Noun ). This book has began to draw me out, as it ever so eyes the fruition of time and it's state of pure truths, as it ceases to exist, until nothing will remain of time but eternity. I find this book to be a spiritual powerhouse that will en
