Gordon is a spiritual guide written in the early 20th century. The text explores the concept of divine power in the life of a Christian, emphasizing the distinction between mere church membership and the possession of true Christian power in one's daily life. The author aims to challenge readers to assess their spiritual experiences and the authenticity of their faith in Christ. The opening of the work introduces S. D. Gordon’s observations during a speaking tour at various colleges and seminaries, where he converses with students and faculty members on their faith. He finds a common thread of individuals identifying themselves as church members but lacking true power in their Christian lives. This prompts him to reflect on what it genuinely means to be a Christian and to live empowered by the Spirit of God. Gordon conveys the necessity of a heartfelt, active faith and discusses examples from the Bible, such as the timid actions of Nicodemus and the transformative experience of the Samaritan woman, framing them as touchpoints for readers to consider their own spiritual journeys.
