Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "How is the disciple to be kept in a world like this? How is the Redeemer’s prayer, “I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep them from the evil,” to be answered in the disciple’s safety? Generally, when we reflect on this matter, we conclude that God saves His children by exercising over them a celestial guardianship, that He entrusts them to a celestial police, that they are sustained by angels’ hands lest they dash their foot against a stone. But this is an altogether insufficient explanation. God saves His people from within rather than from without; and it is to this interior divine action that we must look for our salvation. He makes us invincible through the soul."
