 Twenty Lives That Reveal a Touch of Eternity
"The exchanged life." Hudson Taylor first used the term to describe what it means to know Christ as our sufficiency in all things. Taylor is but one of the many Christian luminaries who have discovered Christ as the secret to abundant living. John Bunyan, Andrew Murray, Amy Carmichael, Oswald Chambers, Charles Finney-behind the varied lives and personalities of these and other men and women lies a common theme, a pattern that leads from desperation to the abundant life Jesus promised.
From their stories, we too can find the path to deeper faith and a
more vital relationship with God. In They Found the Secret , Raymond
Edman presents the lives of twenty well-known and little-known
Christians. "The details of their experience of the crisis of the
deeper life are delightfully different," Edman writes, "yet their
testimony to the reality of the joy and power of the Spirit-filled life
is unanimous . . . It is [the Lord] who satisfies the longing soul. He
is the secret of the exchanged life!"
