Literature & Fiction

Literary

George Matheson discusses topics pertinent to the human spirit, from the pursuit of truth to the emotions, wants and virtues of a good Christian. Comprised of short chapters, this work intends to offer interested Christians an accessible way to contemplate spiritual topics. Each of the author's searchings penetrate the silence of God, shedding light upon the great questions important to all faithful. Readers will conclude each chapter thoughtful and informed. Of particular interest to the author is the character and deeds of the Lord Jesus Christ. The personhood of Jesus, and the example He left for all humanity receives much discussion. Matheson, using his experience as a preacher and hymn writer, is able to answer the anxieties of the reader and offer clarity and insight. The 95 meditations that constitute this book are each prefaced by a Biblical quotation. This verse of scripture serves as the theme for Matheson's messages and advice, and his knowledge of Biblical history, are amply demonstrated.

Searchings in the Silence: A Series of Devotional Meditations on Prayer and the Lord Jesus (Hardcover)

George Matheson, a Scottish minister, describes the aspects of the human spirit, identifying some ninety-five qualities and virtues expressed by the very essence of man. Designed as a daily reference for Christians, each of the chapters in this book explain a defining quality of the human spirit. The human affinity for the divine, the steps and character of spiritual attainment, and the enormity of the spirit's power and capacity, are but a few topics at hand. Matheson variously places each chapter in a Biblical or a personal context, quoting relevant passages of scripture as an example or starting point for each chapter. A gifted hymnwriter and preacher, Matheson spent his life in service to God. Though he gradually became blind during childhood and adolescence, he demonstrated a gifted mind in studies of logic and philosophy. His dream to become a minister was fulfilled, and his ministry commenced in the coastal town of Innellan, where his preaching was well-received.
