It’s especially interesting that through Selwyn’s career as both a minister and a counsellor he comes early to the conclusion that there is only one fruitful way to live your life. And, at the end of his life he can say: ‘Sin is an intruder. It is not-the-way. The natural way to live is God’s [...]
