A Diary of Readings: Being an Anthology of Pages Suited to Engage Serious Thought One for Every Day of the Year Gathered from the Wisdom of Many Centuries

About this book

Dr. Baillie, in this book, has selected 365 readings from the main stream of devotional writing, one for each day of the year. These are chosen for their value in stimulating serious thought and contemplation and are not the trite, familiar sayings that one usually associates with anthologies. A few readings are poems and each reading is contained within a page with the thought complete in itself. Ranging from early church figures such as St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, through Luther, Erasmus, à Kempis, Kierkegaard, to Brunner, Niebuhr, and Tillich of our day, 183 authors are represented.
