Octavius Winslow ministered throughout New York and England during the nineteenth century, spreading the message of Jesusβ love. He penned over forty devotional works, but Go and Tell Jesus stands out as one of the most renowned. In it, he entreats readers to make Jesus their primary confidant. He writes, βEre you take counsel of man or ask sympathy of friendship, ere you confer and communicate with the dearest and nearest earthly friendβgo and tell Jesus.β
