Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Beckonings for Every Day: A Calendar of Thought
Aiming, as its title suggests, to give some of the most awakening and inspiring words of the great and good in all ages, there are naturally many familiar passages; not a few, perhaps, which have appeared in other compilations; yet it is believed that the amount of fresh material hitherto unappropriated in this way is unusually large.
The effort has been to enter into the spirit of modern thought and aspiration, and also to show how the best expressions of the best minds of ear lier and later times harmonize in the truth. Poet and philosopher and Christian thinker, speaking from their deepest insight, strike the same key note, and meet in one concord of eternal verities.
And it is wonderful to see and to feel how all high thought converges, as the ray to the centre, in the highest Christian thought that of the Divine Humanity, the Presence of the Son of God in the world.
