"Every Christian should have this superb book! Not only does Mark Harris lovingly introduce us to several insightful saints whom we may not have previously met, but he also brilliantly weaves together their wisdom to guide us through crucial issues of discipleship in all its fullness. Don’t waste your time with the latest devotional fads or quick-fix programs for spirituality; instead drink deeply from the wells the masters in this volume have dug. The water is pure and deep and enduringly nourishing." —Marva J. Dawn Author of Keeping the Sabbath Holy and Morning by Morning "This book had a real impact on my personal spiritual life. Not only does it unlock the key ideas of some inspiring spiritual leaders, it does so in practical ways that have helped refocus my concept of spirituality and my spiritual disciplines." —David Wiebe Executive Director, Canadian Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches "Over the past few decades, I’ve read many books which seek to bridge the gap between the saints and the modern Christian. I believe Harris’ is one of the best because of its humanity, clarity and depth." —John Krueger Redeemer University College
"In a fresh and winsome style, Mark Harris demonstrates the best practices of an ‘examined life’ as he shares insights from his own spiritual journey and introduces us to his Christian guides and friends from across the ages. By his example, he has challenged me to be more honest and consistent in my own devotional life. I now recommend this volume to my students." —Carol Anne Janzen Professor of Christian Education, Acadia Divinity College
Mark Harris is the pastor of Grace Chapel in Halifax, Nova Scotia and the director of Epektasis Ministries. Mark has studied spiritual theology at Regent College. He is also the author of Three Faces of Jesus and The Light That Lives in Darkness.
