The nineteenth-century Jewish convert to Christianity, Adolph (Aharon) Saphir, a man mighty in the scriptures, was a powerful preacher and prolific writer possessed with extraodinary depth of spiritual insight. His book The Hidden Life consists a series of sermons based on James 4:8, "Draw night to God, and He will draw nigh to you."
