Description
A staggering collection of spiritual wisdom from the pen of J.R. Miller, one of America's foremost devotionalists. J.R. Miller first learned to serve God by tending to the spiritual and physical needs of soldiers during the American Civil War in the 1860's. Following the war, he completed seminary and pastured several Presbyterian churches before becoming the Editorial Superintendent of the Presbyterian Board of Education around the turn of the century. His writing mixes the wisdom of Scripture with an understanding of human nature that can only come from seeing it at its worst and best. These five important works will add wonder to your own spiritual journey, and as a bonus, will spice up the aesthetics of your library, packaged as they are in splendid covers. Don't miss the wide range of designs, from the supple leather cover of "Come Ye Apart" to the gorgeous pasted-on picture of "Go Forward".
