Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Call of the Lord
I have ventured to think that such a book as this may be useful to maintain and to deepen that quickened habit of devotional reading and medita tion, which is often one of the most precious gains of Lent, but which is so apt to be lost for want of further help after Easter. No book of meditation is ever meant to take the place of our own Bible reading. Rather such books succeed in their purpose only when they send us back renewed to a more loving and patient study of the Scriptures, for there we find ourselves nearest to Christ. And the old saying remains ever true, Life without books is sleep, life without Christ is death.
