review 1: I've been reading this book throughout the year (one affirmation a day) and it is good for a reader looking for not only bible versus but accompanying poems, essays, discussion from various authors on the the same theme. Some days were better than others and truthfully I probably didn't really "study" each day's writing as much as I should have. Picked this up, though, after reading the "End of your life bookclub" where it was referenced throughout. Good to get a daily dose of positive affirmations but difficult to carry through on each day's theme at times.
review 2: Each day of the year has Bible quotes and from Christians. The quotes from believers are from before the 18th century so the English is a bit complex and dated BUT, I love how the quotes speak of
... morea human's duty to trust themselves to the Lord even in suffering. Books these days do not address suffering that way anymore. Example:July 5He stayeth His rough wind in the day of the east wind.--ISA. xxvii. 8.A bruised reed shall He not break.--ISA. xlii. 3.All my life I still have found, And I will forget it never; Every sorrow hath its bound, And no cross endures forever. All things else have but their day, God's love only lasts for aye.P. GERHARDT.We never have more than we can bear. The present hour we are always able to endure. As our day, so is our strength. If the trials of many years were gathered into one, they would overwhelm us; therefore, in pity to our little strength, He sends first one, then another, then removes both, and lays on a third, heavier, perhaps, than either; but all is so wisely measured to our strength that the bruised reed is never broken. We do not enough look at our trials in this continuous and successive view. Each one is sent to teach us something, and altogether they have a lesson which is beyond the power of any to teach alone.H. E. MANNING. less
