"In Christ we discover that for which we long, the ocean of pleasure that sits deep in the secret life of the trinity. The promised land, the garden paradise, the Holy place; blazing with fire, utterly consuming. Most of us have barely begun to dip our toes in the water. Yet, the ocean is beckoning us to delve beneath the outer layers of reflective light, glistening with wonder, and to plunge into the unsearchable depths. The depths of the Father are groaning from the teaming deep within us-vibrating with the song of His redemptive love. This light, that hides beneath the veil of time and space in the uncreated region, below the surface of the deep, is the light of Christ, shining forth from the burning heart of a loving Father. He is longing to swallow us up in His permanence, that we might be with Christ and behold His glory. For He has been eternally loved and in Him we are eternally loved, eternally found, eternally home. In Christ's light, we are merged into the I am of the trinity's fellowship. It's a place of sureness, of stability, yet it opens perpetually in its revealing of His ancient beauty."
This book is both a revelatory and practical guide for those looking to deepen their spiritual practice whilst holding fast to a Christocentric clarity around the nature of God:
"A guide book for those that desire to experience a much deeper union with God. A life of gentle sweetness, inner stillness, and at times extreme raptures of joy. A life fully saturated with the manifest Presence of God." Justin Paul Abraham (Company of Burning Hearts)
"Caleb has invitationally drawn us from the shallows, to plunge through the doorway into the Waters of the Deep, known as the Kingdom:
- Righteousness, which is the profound purity of the gospel through which we have been reborn into a perfect and complete transformation/transfiguration.
- Peace, which is the total focus of living in rest, calm and tranquillity so that we forego what Caleb expresses so succinctly as the "ideologies driving us in self effort".
- Joy/happiness/fun, which flows inexpressibly when we are driven into the gravity-less zone of Father God's intimate love.
The distinguishing feature of Waters of the Deep is that the language, with elegant practical coherence, entices us to go deeper. The practical steps to go ankle-, knee-, waist-deep and, finally, full immersion becomes so easily achieved. The writer ushers us into the very inner recesses of the throne room so that we can experientially encounter heavenly dimensions. As I've read, I've felt this has been achieved through Caleb's own passionate praxis and personal revelatory reflection."
