just that, and in so doing to explore what it means to "guard our hearts".'

'Ian writes for all those who seek to be truthful ministers and witnesses of the gospel. He o ers guidance and insight to help us deepen the life of

holiness and profound worship that anchors us in the depths of God's love.'
