The Sunflower: Conforming the Will of Man to the Will of God [Paperback]

"May our love for the Sun, the will of God, be as strong as the sunflower’s, so that even in days of hardship and sorrow we will continue to sail unerringly along the sea of life, following the directions of the barometer and compass of God’s will that leads us to the safe haven of eternity." This is a thoroughly practical manual of the spiritual life focusing on the goal of every Christian: learning the will of God and struggling to mold our life to it.
