This book offers forty rich treasures for readers of every kind.”—Abram van Engen, author, Word Made Fresh: An Invitation to Poetry for the Church

“I have never understood why George Herbert is not a household name among Christians. No other major literary author is so evangelical, so Christ-centered, so biblical, so devotional. Stephen Witmer briefly unpacks and applies Herbert’s poetry so that today’s Christians can connect with a fellow believer who can deepen and enrich their faith.”—Gene Edward Veith Jr., Provost Emeritus, Patrick Henry College; author, Reformation Spirituality: The Religion of George Herbert
