Indeed, materials for a full biography have been withheld from men. The earliest converts were converted by a single historical fact (the Resurrection) and a single theological doctrine (the Redemption) operating on a sense of win which they already had...

"Ye shall search for me with all your heart." He makes a direct call to us for single-mindedness: a single-minded longing for Him -- no lesser aim will do; no desire to be good, no striving to measure up to some standard we have set for ourselves, to correct some failure we have been shown in our way of life. These may be temporarily necessary, but they will turn to dust and ashes, they will end in a grim dryness, unless at the back of them all is what He asks of us --a never-ending search for a real knowledge of Him, for a sense of His reality, a confidence in His companionship, a joy and delight in the very person of God Himself. It is for this that we must learn to long and long, till our prayers for it become not just a form of words, but a stretching out of our whole being to Him.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn    November 27, 1999  When God finished man He breathed into the human form the divine life, "and man became a living soul." Man is created to be a witness and likeness of God. God and man are so near to one another that it was possible for the Eternal Word to become Man without ceasing to be God, to re-ascend to the Highest without dehumanizing the Manhood which He had assumed; so near that the believer may say in the fullest meaning of the words, "I live, yet not I, but Christ".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These are the forgeries of jealousy; And never, since the middle summer's spring,  Met we on hill, in dale, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58274]]></link><description><![CDATA[These are the forgeries of jealousy; And never, since the middle summer's spring,  Met we on hill, in dale, forest, or mead,   By paved fountain or by rushy brook,    Or in the beached margent of the sea,     To dance our ringlets to the whistling wind,      But with thy brawls thou hast disturbed our sport.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58274</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not enough to reach for the brass ring.
