Twelve years ago, Larry began a project of putting together excerpts from Samuel H. Miller's first three books—The Life of the Soul (1951), The Life of the Church (1953), and The Great Realities (1955)—that he hoped would become a collection of spiritual meditations. Larry felt the need to lift nuggets out and make them available for people who had read Miller in the past and had forgotten his books. And he also felt the need to bring forth this deep, honest spirituality for those who had never heard of Samuel Miller.
