THE BIBLE SPEAKS TO DAILY NEEDS

Many books of devotion fail to use the Bible itself enough to provide material for devotion beyond a brief text or two. Miss Georgia Harkness, who has been exposing young people to the Bible for many years, does not make this error. She lets the Bible speak on 86 chosen subjects, after a very brief introductory statement of her own. These are a few of the topics: ""In Anxiety"", ""When the Heart Rejoices"", ""Amid Discord"", ""On Assuming a New Responsibility"", ""When Healing Comes Slowly"", ""Godliness with Contentment"". After each Bible passage there is a question or so for purposes of self-examination, and then a short prayer offering the whole matter to God. Such a book as this will prove to be useful, inspiring, and helpful to young people, and to adults, who need assistance in finding just the right Bible passage to meet a particular and immediate need. And who doesn't?
