He speaks through the book today. And if you want His companionship and His fellowship today, you’ll have to get it through His Word. And then there’s something else that you must have, or you’ll never complete the journey. We need today hope—oh, we need hope that tomorrow will be brighter. We need hope that at the end of this journey there is satisfaction and the fullness of life. Peter wrote and says, “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and with fear.” You’ll find in this book, my friend, all that you need.
