This author delved into profound philosophical and theological questions, focusing on the ultimate nature of things. His writing included spiritual poetry that reflected his deep convictions. Despite his traditional values, he maintained a special connection with people, seeking to guide them back to faith. His sermons and thoughts resonated far beyond his immediate community and were translated into several languages.
When Jesus Sleeps shows you how to trust God even when He seems unresponsive and remote -- even when, as in the incident in the Gospels, He seems to sleep while you are buffeted by storms. You'll make better sense of your life once you realize that God is closest to you when He seems farthest away; and once you learn why He often speaks to you only in silence.
Translated, edited, and annotated for the English ed. by Elczbieta Sadowska and Arthur B. Calkins.
