Our Own God

By George Douglas Watson

Author's Preface

 

Nearly all the chapters and the title of the book were given to me one afternoon in June, 1896, while traveling on the train from Toronto to Detroit. I have not been able to put into the book all the things that I had hoped to, and have had to write out many of the chapters at intervals, amid other pressing labors. Amid the multitude of books in recent years on Christian holiness, most of them treat of the human side, explaining sin, consecration, faith, and religious duties. A very few of them treat mainly of the Divine side, of the perfection of the Divine nature; and I know of none that expounds the mode of existence of the three Divine Persons in the Godhead. If reading this book will enable some of God’s dear children to understand Him, to love Him, and to worship Him, with a more intelligent and ardent devotion, that will be my ample reward, in the day when the Lord Jesus shall come to make up His jewels.

George D. Watson.
