The Designs of His Heart, is more than a mere biography, interesting though this may be. Written as it is around a unifying doctrinal idea that of God's designs of love working themselves out imperceptibly but surely in the context of at times dramatic and tangled human events it becomes thought-provoking, material for spiritual reading. As the story develops, all things even the tensions and personality clashes of the latter are to be seen contributing to the fulfilment of the Divine designs.
