The Inner Life: Inner Land--A Guide into the Heart of the Gospel, Volume 1 (Eberhard Arnold Centennial Editions)
Description:
It is hard to exaggerate the significance of Innerland, either for Eberhard Arnold or his readers. It absorbed his energies off and on for most of his adult life--from World War I, when he published the first chapter under the title War: A Call to Inwardness, to 1935, the last year of his life.
