It will serve as the thing I was searching for in order to write to a friend who needs to awaken to the Gospel. He is an Historian.

Glory to God for your encouragement and heart for souls! And see this page of comparative quotes.

Along the line i was speaking of are the massive number of classic devotional ad evangelical hymns/songs written about Christ and the relationship with Him, and other Heavenly things resulting from that.

I am not aware of the comparative genre of other religions, but i am sure both the kind of expression and their number and popularity then Christianity is unique. Blind Fanny Crosby alone penned thousands!

I have said before that if you had only 3 documents to take with you then it should be the Bible, a hymn book and your address and tel. # book.

The question must be asked, where these writers fantasizing such things as "He walks with me and He talks with me along the narrow way?" Who would write such about Muhammad and find millions singing them?

Certainly souls can write about the fantasies they have about a person, but we are talking her about a personal relationship that multitudes identify with, as well as deep Scriptural truths they have found to be real, and of a living hope of the future flowing from what they have realized.

I think of it as spiritual resonance ... the Holy Spirit seal causes a resonance when Truth is at hand, when the Gospel of The Grace of God in Christ is offered in love. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever would profess as Peter did in Matthew 16:16 SHALL be Saved in His Righteousness, not any of their own rags.

Sunday, the man who was my close friend and brought the Good News to me more than forty years ago, died. He was my Brother in Christ. He had become a Mormon, but he was first a Christian Born Again. I expect I'll see him very soon for the Rapture is nigh at hand, even at the door.
