By God's grace, "perhaps we can recover the biblical practice of meditation for our time."

In this book, Joel Beeke and Paul Smalley remind single Christians that they can experience rich and satisfying lives when they understand that Christ, not marriage, completes them.

Hebrews 3:1 and 12:3 tell us that the most effective means for enduring affliction is to consider Christ, the fountainhead of all vital Christianity.
