These pages shed light on early piety, moral risk, and the reasons people resist or embrace spiritual truth.
The book presents short, sermon‑like reflections drawn from biblical stories. It uses vivid scenes to discuss how personal decisions, family example, and public pressures affect our devotion to God and the path of the soul.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Excerpt from Obscure Characters and Minor Lights of Scripture
Many of the following scripture sketches have already appeared in the pages of the " Homiletic Magazine," and have drawn forth such kindly expressions of appreciation, and of desire for their re-publication, that they, with others, are now sent forth in this distinct form.
It is the wish of the author that these sketches may not only prove suggestive to preachers and teachers, but interesting to those who may have to spend days of dreary detention from the house of God.
Young people also may possibly welcome a book that it is hoped will lead them to find a still greater attractiveness in the Sacred Word, - that treasury in which are hidden so many "things new and old."
