The Direction Beyond Words
Trust, the Incomprehensible, and the Practice of the Godward Way
Adam G. · 19 chapters
A short book of spiritual practice. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. Sixteen chapters follow that invitation into prayer: how a branch lives from a tree it cannot explain, why no thought can grasp God, and how to remain turned toward Him beyond words, with a practice at the close of each chapter.
