About the book:

Seek, and Ye Shall Find

The difficulty for all Christians lies in the fact that God has set forth a magnificent destiny for man. He created him for one glory only. He gave the pattern and the example in the Person of His Son. The Lord Jesus is the Way, and no one comes to the eternal God—no one can become a child of the Father without beginning— unless he follows the way of His Son. ‘Through the Son, we have access… to the Father.’ Our goal is indeed magnificent, but the way to achieve it is difficult, and we are far from it. Only pain purifies the heart. However, when sufferings are faced in a godly way, they do not destroy but constitute a privilege and a sign that man is chosen by God.
