Long description
One of the most well-known and beloved classics in Christian history, this book ranks on many top ten lists of must-reads by Christians throughout the ages. Nicholas Herman (c. 1605-1691) was born in Lorraine, France and served as a cook and shoe repairer at a Carmelite monastery. He was only a lay member of the order, and walked with a limp from injuries incurred as a soldier, yet his private thoughts provide a wellspring of devotional insight and refreshment.
