Penetrating! Humbling!

Seeking the Face of God is the first book I have read by author Gary L. Thomas. I don't read many books twice without some time [months or years]in between readings, but this book is an exception. I am reading it this time with the use of a highlighter. If you want to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord, then read what the ancients had to say. Gary's research of the Christian classics is evident. Read, meditate, grow.

This is an EXCELLENT book!

This book does and excellent job of exploring the spirtual journey as experienced by the classic authors of the christian faith, and relating it to your own journey. I have learned a great deal from reading this book, and have recommended it to many friends.

A well written, thought provoking book

This book is one of my favorite devotional books. It brings balance into your theology, while provoking you to a greater relationship with God. His chapter on death is especially excellent. This author has gone to the early "fathers" of the church to use as a point of stimulation, but his applications are focused on the issues we face (or need to face) daily.I would encourage anyone to buy this book if they want to be challenged to grow and experience a greater depth in their Christian walk.

A Deep and Spiritual Challenge to Any Reader

Gary Thomas offers us a refreshing look into the lives of the historical saints. More than a biography or a book of history, Thomas takes their lives and applies them to spiritual growth in modern America. This is definitely a book you will want to purchase and read several times. Along the lines of Lewis' "Mere Christianity", Thomas intellectually stimulates the reader with sometimes humorous, often heartening, spiritual truths.

A new application of 1500 yr old advice -- Essential reading

Thomas humbly lets the ancient father's of Christianity share pearls not tainted by our 90's cultural perspective. Essential reading for ALL Christians desiring maturity in their life for God without the hype of a new 'spiritual' formula. Surely a classic along the lines of Lewis' "Mere Christianity", Packer's "Knowing God", and Bunyon's "Pilgim's Progress".
