This tiny book has provided some timely footholds when I have felt discouraged, afraid, or depressed. Set as a series of brief conversations between a soul and God, the book provides solace and encouragement for a variety of complaints, questions, and feelings. Even through the old-fashioned language, the love and fondness of God for you shines clearly.

Something of this feeling was with him still. Grey weather was not among the things for which he gave thanks.
His Father said to him, ‘All weathers nourish souls.’”
