Little Pillows, Morning Bells, and Morning Stars

by Frances Ridley Havergal, David L. Chalkley (Editor), Glen T. Wegge (Editor)

Frances Ridley Havergal taught a Sunday school class in her early teens, and for most of the rest of her life she was in several ways extensively involved with children, though she never married or had children of her own. She loved the little ones and wanted them to know and love the Lord Jesus. Among her other writings for children in poetry, prose, and music, she completed these three 31-day books, having a brief piece for each day of a month. These are so good. Though deeply beneficial for adults of any age, these were specifically meant for and addressed to children. So clearly, effectively, sweetly, compassionately written, you can almost hear F.R.H. sitting on the side of the bed and saying these to one of her nieces or nephews just before sleep or before breakfast. God is love. These books are full of His love, wanting young ones to know and follow Him. This book is taken from the five-volume, 8,014-page edition of The Complete Works of Frances Ridley Havergal, an edition prepared over several years by a team of people in the U.S., England, and Canada.

About the author

Frances Ridley Havergal was an English religious poet and hymnwriter. "Take My Life and Let it Be" and "Thy Life for Me" (also known as "I Gave My Life for Thee") are two of her best known hymns. She also wrote hymn melodies, religious tracts, and works for children. She did not occupy, and did not claim for herself, a prominent place as a poet, but by her distinct individuality, she carved out a niche which she alone could fill.
