The inner life

"Inner Life" - from the point of view of Rufus M. Jones, as a Quaker, reflects the Christian principles of the soul and the nourishment of the spiritual essence. In this book, the author puts forward the point of view that Christians can seek and find the core of God's strength, which is contained in them. To show this to the reader, he examines the life of Jesus Christ, as well as all those saints and prophets who have achieved closeness to God through the inner contemplation of the divine presence within and around all humankind. Rufus Jones did not stop at just quoting and discussing the theory of inner life in his book. He offers to the reader practical steps to develop personal spiritual growth. Chief among his methods is prayer, but he also tries to recognize the "mystery of goodness" - the process by which a person rejects the powerful force of selfishness in order to live a truly altruistic life. Remembering the deeds and words of Christ, and the principles of the Holy Spirit, is vital to achieving lasting and meaningful inner growth.
