From Pen and Pulpit (Electronic book text)

It is doubtful if there has been an age when the world has been so full of Christian books. There seems to be no end to them and they deal with every aspect of the Christian life. You name it-they are there on the bookshelves of religious bookshops which seem to have mushroomed in recent years. Yet books on daily readings do not appear to be so popular as they once were among the Christian public; however, these readings are short, pithy and powerful and are meant for the busy Christian to have a "seed-thought" planted in his or her mind at the beginning or end of each day.
