Reviews
1. "A wise and cheerful tone runs through it all. It supplies again and again a wholesome corrective to the sentimental and impractical phases of religion which are so common. His style is easy and agreeable, and each address hangs well together. As you read it you feel instinctively that it puts the points that ought to be put, and puts them well. Above all, there is a wealth of apt quotation from the stores of Christian poetry. The book would be worth having, if for nothing else, for the charming lines from authors, often little known, with which it is enriches." — Record
2. "We cannot recommend it too highly." — Footsteps of Truth
3. "The book is rich in suggestion, and full of truth. Quiet in tone, there is a certain air of peace breathing from its pages, which stimulates as well as comforts." — Dundee Advertiser

J R Miller (1840-1912), considered by many the most popular and gifted devotional writer of his era, leads us through our daily meditations, displaying his amazing gift for drawing and expounding on Gods word.
Simple, accessible and tender this is a wonderful devotional book that will enhance your quiet time, and serve as a valuable source of inspiration and guidance. Miller offers a wealth of practical wisdom for our everyday lives, challenging us to seek to follow Christ's example every day of the year.
In an increasingly hectic world this is a book of immeasurable value, aiding us in taking time out, and coming into the presence of the Lord. For you this could be a timeless companion book. It is written in a beautiful and heart-warming style with a message that offers a freshness and clarity for the 21st century — christianfocus.com 2005
