Moody – The Secret of Guidance

Back Cover
We must escape the din of the world to become accustomed to the accents of the still, small voice.

To desire guidance is godly, but how are we to know Gods will? In The Secret of Guidance, F.B. Meyer shows us how. Mayers work outs actions to take examine our motives, spend time in the Word, search our hearts for sin and thoughts to ponder The Master promises to be to all faithful souls, in their pilgrimage to the City of God, what the cloudy pillars was to the children of Israel. By ordering how we can experience guidance through facts, faith, and feelings as well as addressing how to handle burdens and sorrows, Meyers work offers much assistance.

F. B. Meyer writes, “The grace of purity and self-control, of fervent prayer and understanding in the Scriptures, of love for men and zeal for God, of lowliness and meekness, of gentleness and goodness--all is in Christ; and if Christ is in us, all is ours also.”

F.B. Meyer was a contemporary and friend of D.L. Moody who was also a pioneer in the field of inner-city missions work. Drawing constantly on Scripture in this book, Meyer exhorts us to seek after God’s best for our lives by examining our inner motives, understanding Christ’s role in our present-day, and then examining how we ought to then bear up underneath the secret of God’s guidance.

F. B. MEYER (1847-1929) was an internationally known British minister of the Gospel, a public servant, and an evangelist for more than sixty years. A good friend of D. L. Moody, he began preaching at Christ Church in London, when there were only 100 regular attendees. Within two years he was preaching regularly to over 2,000 people. Charles Spurgeon once spoke of him, saying "Meyer preaches as a man who has seen God face to face." Meyer was also active in the temperance movement, worked to close more than 500 houses of prostitution, and formed a prison aid society. Meyer authored more than 40 books, including biographies, devotional commentaries, sermon volumes and expository works. He also authored several pamphlets and edited a number of magazines.
