This
book brings together a unique collection of 730 devotional readings
- two for each day of the year - by one of the greatest Christian scholars
and communicators of the 20th century.
A treasure trove of gentle wisdom and unassuming scholarship, these readings bring an appreciation of God within the grasp of general reader.
The author, Denis Duncan, writes: "It has been a privilege to work with these thoughts once again. I hope it will be an added blessing for you to use them as you will."
Extract: February 5: Positive Attitudes: Morning:
One of the greatest gifts in life is to have strength and gentleness combined.
It is good to have strength of purpose without being stubborn:
One of the great dangers in life - and it is a danger to which people in churches are particularly prone - is the danger of condemning everything that we do not understand, the danger of thinking that there is only one way of belief and only one way of doing things.
It is good to have strength of faith without being self-righteous:
It is one of the great tragedies of the Christian life that very often those whose faith is strongest and most 'evangelical' are quickest to accuse others of heresy, of modernism, of liberalism, and to insist that anyone who has not had the same experience as they have has had no Christian experience at all.
There are - blessed be God! - many ways to God. No man has any monopoly of belief or of experience.
A man requires both strength and gentleness before he can be a pillar in the house of God.
• Denis Duncan is a retired minister of the Church of Scotland and former director of the Churches' Council for Health and Healing.
