Draw closer to Christ.
Three things may be said of the chapters in this book…
First, they are based on the life and teaching of Jesus Christ, and they breathe His spirit. They represent the Christian life as conceived and illustrated by Him. They make goodness and kindness and fidelity winsome and attractive and desirable and they make selfishness and cruelty and falsehood odious and repulsive.
Second, they are simply and beautifully written. Their author is a lover of beauty in all its manifestations, and he wields a graceful pen. Moreover, he is a lover and student of the poets and has taken from them “many a gem of purest ray serene” to glorify the theme in hand.
Third, they have the merit of brevity. Any one of them can be read in fifteen minutes.
The Inner Circle challenges and strengthens the heart, helping readers pursue a closer fellowship with Christ and a deeper commitment to His will.
About the Author
Edgar DeWitt Jones (1876–1956) was an American minister, author, and prominent leader within the Disciples of Christ movement, known for his devotional writings and pastoral influence. Born in Hearne, Texas, he initially studied law before turning to ministry, receiving theological training at what is now Lexington Theological Seminary. Jones pastored several churches, most notably in Bloomington, Illinois, and Detroit, Michigan, where he served for many years and gained a wide reputation as a preacher and writer. He was also active in broader Christian leadership, serving as president of the Federal Council of Churches, and authored numerous books aimed at spiritual growth, including The Inner Circle (1914).

1 review for The Inner Circle
There’s some good stuff in this book. Four chapters, in particular, spoke to me. I will share a favorite quote from each with the hope that they will bless you, too.
(1) The Prodigal Son’s Brother uses an analogy of tending a fallen vine in this quote: “Be as kind to men and women who suffer, who weep, who waver and who fall as you were to that vine, which knew neither pain nor pleasure. Be as willing and ready to lift up your brother man, your sister woman who has fallen low, as your were quick to tend to that vine. Give men and women a fair a chance to begin all over again. And do it not once or twice or seven times seven, but seventy times seven.”
(2) The Servant in the House gives these exhortations: “Do not be ministered to, but minister.” And “Men are hungering for the great brotherly teaching of Christ and to find expression in the lives of his followers.”
(3) The Fine Art of Taking Second Place offers this insight: “Few men or women try to adjust themselves to change. Instead, they prefer not to work at all if hindered from working in their own way – and in the lead at that.”
(4) In the chapter entitled, The Mind of Christ, we’re encouraged: “To be of the same mind as Jesus is to live in daily consciousness of the reality of God, to be sure of God and to be willing to walk by faith where light cannot guide or illuminate the way.”
I can’t think of a better way to end this review than this passage from a prayer given in the book: “We ask you to help us in the difficult work of loving those who have wronged us, and to enable us to possess Your Son’s disposition so largely as to be able to pray for those who plan our destruction. Lead us, Lord, till we shall be like-minded with Him.”
