Produktbeschreibung
This warm and encouraging book of daily devotionals, along with Bible verses suitable to each topic, shows forth a pastor's heart and a disciple's love of Scripture. One senses, moving through the year, topics that were especially treasured by Robert Macdonald, presented so winsomely that they soon become precious to the reader. Each day, the author presents fresh biblical insights interwoven with wisdom from the Puritans, amusing and yet helpful anecdotes from his own nineteenth-century Scotland, and snippets from hymns and poems. Perhaps the most compelling recommendation of Macdonald's book remains the one written by his friend and fellow minister Andrew Bonar: 'My dear Robert, From Day to Day is a book of pleasant and profitable reading. It is 365 meditations--as many as Samuel Rutherford's Letters--as many as Enoch's years of earthly pilgrimage and walking with God. There is a clearness and pointedness in your style of writing that at once attracts the reader, and, dipping in his rod in the honey, he finds his eyes enlightened.'
