The memoirs of Frances Ridley Havergal, a great missionary and hymn writer.

Chapter III.
Our Hands Kept for Jesus.

‘Keep my hands, that they may move

I like this book because it focuses on our relationship with God our Father as He relates to us. Books that take the focus off of us and put it where it belongs - on God, bless my heart every time. There were so many gems in this book that I am sure to read it again and again. And

Havergal's practicality is explicit and highly thought-provoking in a needfully good and precise way. One who thinks that he / she is as close as he/she can get to God should read this; Let Havergal tenderly bring to light the oft overlooked areas of weakness that will henceforth call for prayerful
