Note keenly that true touch with God always brings the longing to be pure and the love of one’s fellow man. The nearer one gets to God, the nearer he will find himself getting to men. Often we find ourselves getting wonderful new glimpses of God as we are eagerly helping somebody. Up seems to include out, as though the line that drew us up to God led through men, even while it is simultaneously true that the more one is in touch with God, the more one desires to be alone with Him.
There are always three turnings of a true life: upward, inward, and outward. Upward to God, inward to self, and outward to the world. The more one knows God, the keener is the longing to get away with Him alone, the deeper is the yearning to be pure, and the stronger is the passion to help others regardless of any sacrifice involved.
Our lives must have their source high up in the mountains of God, fed by a ceaseless supply. Only so can there be the purity and momentum that will keep us pure and that will keep us moving down in contact with the men of the earth. And we must keep closer to the source than the Rhône at Geneva, or else the streams flowing alongside will unduly influence us.
Constant personal contact with Jesus is the ever-new beginning of service.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
