About This Book

The author offers a series of pastoral reflections on the biblical episode involving Saul and the woman who summoned a spirit, using it to probe feelings of divine departure and the experience of spiritual desertion. He emphasizes Christ's person, covenant promises, and the Holy Spirit as grounds for assurance, lists scriptural comforts for various spiritual needs, and warns about the consequences of sin and unbelief that can lead to apparent or final abandonment. The pamphlet alternates exposition of Scripture, moral exhortation, and consoling assurances, urging believers to cling to Christ and to view trials as means by which faith is tested and strengthened.
