The Great Companion

The Great Companion is a book written by Lyman Abbott, a renowned American theologian and author, that explores the concept of God as a companion in life. In this book, Abbott argues that God is not a distant and impersonal deity, but rather a close and intimate presence that walks with us through all of life's joys and struggles. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of scripture and his personal experiences, Abbott offers a compelling vision of God as a compassionate and loving companion who is always there to guide and support us.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of God's companionship. Abbott begins by examining the biblical foundations of this idea, exploring passages that depict God as a shepherd, a friend, and a father. He then moves on to consider the practical implications of this concept, discussing how it can help us find meaning and purpose in our lives, cope with suffering and loss, and cultivate deeper relationships with others.Throughout the book, Abbott's writing is clear, engaging, and deeply insightful. He draws on a wide range of sources, including literature, philosophy, and psychology, to offer a rich and nuanced portrait of God as a companion. Whether you are a religious believer or a spiritual seeker, The Great Companion is a book that will challenge and inspire you, offering a fresh perspective on the nature of God and our relationship with the divine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
