Soul Hero

I have a great book by James McGuiggan called Jesus, Hero of Thy Soul. It's full of very readable and entertaining anecdotes that stir up affection for Christ.

In the chapter "To See Jesus Is To Hope", he writes:

"It's my suspicion that the vast majority of us have never become desperate enough to know the utter joy of complete dependence on Jesus Christ. When we have no others props - like 'sufficient' money in the bank, paid-up insurance, a steady job, better than good health, a devoted family, and loads of friends - we then discover just how assuring Christ can be...With the lovely props all gone or nearly gone, we ill be thrown back onto the Christ as our solitary means of support. Maybe then we'll find, as countless thousands through the years have found, that Christ is altogether grand and comes to mean more to us than before."

Solus Christus!
