Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hours of Devotion The following pages have been translated with the view to interest and instruct the American reader, more than for the purpose of spreading before the public a literal transla tion of the original. Some passages have occasionallyr been omitted on account of their idiomatical obscurity; others because it was thought they contained but little inter esting to the American public. In some instances, also, when the text appeared to' be unnecessarily diffuse, it has been abbreviated, while at the same time great care has been taken to preserve the full meaning and spirit of the author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hours of Christian Devotion The thought of labouring in this field of literature, however, was foreign to my mind until awakened by outward incidents. First of all, in the year 1826, when bowed down both in mind and body by long and severe indisposition, I began to write medita tions on passages of Scripture chiefly with a view to my own consolation. The task was never finished. During my second visit to England, I received a fresh impulse by becoming ao quainted with a work of which the plan appeared to me emi nently suited for family worship. It contained select portions of sacred Scripture, chiefly of a practical tendency, and one for every day of the year. Short solutions of the difficulties were given for the purpose of promoting insight into the meaning of the Word. There was then appended a meditation upon the text, and finally a prayer embodying, as vows to God, the resolu tions inspired by the subject. I still think that a devotional work executed according to such a plan is a real want of the Church of our native land still requiring to be supplied and I was stirred up repeatedly to think of composing a work of the sort. It was, however, the state of my eyesight, which for a length of time threatened to fail me, that proved the occasion of my writing the book which I now present to the Christian world. During the winter mornings and evenings I was prevented from pursuing my usual employments by candle-light, and it was then that, in quiet rumination, the plan of these Hours of Christian Devotion was matured. At the time, the danger of being compelled to re sign for several years, if not for ever, my vocation as professor, was constantly present to my mind; and if a season of affliction is not in general the most unfavourable for the production of a religious work, I may be permitted to indulge good hopes of the success of the present one, as not only the original conception but also the subsequent execution of it occupied what were very grave hours of my life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Devotional Hours With the Bible There are two methods of studying the Bible. One is, verse by verse, giving close thought to every word, even looking into etymology and grammatical construction, so that the exact sense of the text may be learned. Such study is important. Many rich shades of meaning are often revealed by intelligent and scholarly exegesis. Commentaries that take us over the Bible in this microscopical way are valuable. We need every particle of light on the Scriptures we can get. Then another way of studying the Bible is in order to get from it practical lessons for our own daily common life. What does the passage teach us? What Divine instruction have we in it for ourselves? It is the latter purpose that is in mind in this book. It is not a commentary in the usual sense. It is not an exegetical study of the Scriptures that is proposed. No textual criticism is given. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Alone with God written by James H. Garrison and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alone With God: A Manual of Devotions This little volume owes its existence to numerous requests, especially from those young in years, or in Christian experience, for some work that would assist them in learning how to pray. Remembering that when the disciples came to Jesus with a similar request he did not refuse them, the author felt that it would be in harmony with the spirit of the Masters example to respond to this request in the best manner he could. I am not unaware of the prejudice that exists among us, in common with most Protestant bodies, against printed forms of prayer. Within certain limits this aversion to forms is no doubt founded in reason. What is purely formal and perfunctory, can have no value as worship. To read a prayer, or to say a prayer, is not necessarily to pray. To use forms without the spirit is the constant tendency in all worship, no less in song than in prayer. And yet, forms are necessary. We could improvise our words in song, but printed hymns, carefully prepared, are much better, despite our tendency to forget the sentiments of the familiar lines.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Devotion The compilation of this manual was forced upon the author by a daily experience of the needs of students, both communicants and non-communicants, who attended the confirmation classes in the University. For, although there are already many very valuable books of the same kind in print, none of them was felt, after trial, to be all that was desired; and in so small a matter it seemed best to draw up an outline at least of what was wanted and to arrange the material for present use even if further experience should suggest improvements.
