Octavius Winslow had a very devout, godly mother, Mary Winslow. When she died, he took excerpts from her correspondence and memorialized her devotion to God in this book. In his foreword, Dr. Joel Beeke says, "Life in Jesus, a memoir of Octavius Winslow's mother, is a veritable treasure of experimental and practical divinity. Living, vital Christianity is here set before us in undeniable reality. Would you like guidance in learning how to live more closely to Christ, how to walk more by faith than by sight, how to be patient in adversity and thankful in prosperity, how to wrestle at the throne of grace? Buy and read Life in Jesus prayerfully".
