"The worth and excellency of a soul is to be measured by the object of its love. He who loveth mean and sordid things doth thereby become base and vile, but a noble and well-placed affection doth advance and improve the spirit into a conformity with the perfections which it loves. The images of these do frequently present themselves unto the mind, and, by a secret force and energy, insinuate into the very constitution of the soul, and mould and fashion it unto their own likeness." - H. Scougal. Simple yet intense, deeply inspiring and profound, this little work, first published in the seventeenth century, is a timeless classic of spiritual devotion that has guided generations of readers toward a more heartfelt and living faith.
