Product Highlights

• From the greatest preacher of the nineteenth century

"One of the richest and most beautiful books of the point of contents... It would be probably impossible to fit in any volume of this size, drawn from distinctly religious writings, a richer fertility of spiritual resource and intellectual insight than is to be found in these pages."

—The Outlook

"The stuff out of which the book is mainly made is royal purple, and it is like the sound of a trumpet or the rush of many waters, as one opens his ear to the impassioned voice that speaks in these pages."

—Atlantic Monthly

"The fitness of the these passages is evident at once, and it must be confessed that this work, in the beauty of its selections, in the fitness of its type, and in the simplicity of its binding, is the beau ideal of what a book ought to be. It is as choice and as delightful as one could wish. Such a work as this will go into thousands of hands and find immediate response, and it is calculated to do a great deal of good. In it Bishop Brooks will still preach to the multitude, and he will lead to heaven and guide people in the right way."

—Boston Herald

These inspiring daily devotionals are drawn from the writings of the Right Reverend Phillips Brooks, D.D., one of the best known preachers of the last nineteenth century. Experience for yourself the rich insight and meaningful wisdom Brooks has distilled from his study and exposition of God's Word.
