Life of Moses (Christian Living Classics Ser) by F B Meyer

Quote from the text: "Moses, which I have elaborated in the following chapters, was suggested years ago by contrast with Michael Angelo statue of him, colossal in proportions, hewn in stone. Yet one turns away from that mighty head, that pregnant brow, that towering height, hopeless of repeating aught of a life, which, if that conception be the true one, must have had so little in common with our own. It is a comfort, therefore, to turn to the record of the New Testament, which tells that he did not spring at a leap to the throne on which he has sat through the ages, but that his character took years to form, and that his mighty deeds were due, not to some rare combination of personal qualities, but to the faith which he had in common with the rank and file of the great army of the saints."

F. B. Meyer's devotional studies reflect a rare depth of spiritual experience. These great figures were not so different from ourselves -- sometimes weak, indifferent, willful. Yet they had their moments of faith, humility, and courage, and God was able to use these for His greater purposes. God's faithfulness, which not only accepts but transforms such inconsistency, calls us to more effective Christian living.
