Wells of Baca: Or Solaces of the Christian Mourner, and Other Thoughts on Bereavement is a book written by John Ross Macduff and first published in 1855. The book is a collection of essays and meditations on the topic of grief and mourning from a Christian perspective. The title is taken from Psalm 84:6, which speaks of a valley called Baca, where the pilgrims passing through find wells of water. Macduff uses this metaphor to describe the solaces that can be found in God's word for those who are mourning the loss of a loved one. The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the biblical story of David and his experience of grief, as well as other biblical examples of mourning. Macduff draws insights from these stories to offer comfort and encouragement to those who are grieving. The second part of the book consists of a series of meditations on various aspects of grief, such as the comfort of God's presence, the hope of heaven, and the importance of prayer. Throughout the book, Macduff emphasizes the importance of turning to God in times of grief and finding comfort in His promises. He also offers practical advice on how to deal with grief, such as the importance of self-examination and the need to reach out to others for support. Wells of Baca has been praised for its compassionate and insightful approach to the topic of grief, and has been a source of comfort to many readers over the years.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
