Daily Light on the Daily Path

Here is a book that is over 200 years old, yet it remains immensely popular.

Back in 1794, Samuel Bagster published a compilation of daily readings taken directly from Scripture. There is a morning and an evening reading for each day, plus a selection of topical readings in the back. Each is made up of selected verses on a particular theme. Verses arranged out of context may at times seem forced to mean something other than what was originally intended. This happens occasionally. But with all the references given at the bottom of the page it is possible to look the verse up and check.

On the positive side, Bagster’s warm love for the Lord and his soundness in the fundamentals of the faith are evident. This is a small book easy for busy people to carry along and use “on the fly.” In 1998 Anne Graham Lotz published an edition of the book using the New King James Version. Recommended.
