Living in God's Presence:
The Present Tenses of the Christian Life
By F.B. Meyer. Gwasg Bryntirion Press. 144 pages
ISBN 1 85049 134 8

In this book, F.B. Meyer (1847-1929) presents devotional thoughts based loosely on 18 New Testament verses. According to the cover blurb, the book 'will help many believers to practise the presence of God in their lives day by day'.

The following sentence, from the chapter headed 'My peace I give' (John 14.27), will illustrate both style and content: 'Any stone flung by a chance passer-by may break the crystal clearness of the lake of peace, and send disturbing ripples across it, unless we have learn to trust in the perpetual presence of him who can make and keep 'a great calm' within the soul.'
