Morning Thoughts

by Octavius Winslow

Large-type reprint of Octavius Winslow's morning devotions, titled Morning Thoughts. These thoughts were selected by Winslow himself from his writings. Unlike other daily devotionals, such as William Jay's, these daily portions elucidate only one or two thoughts from the day's text rather than providing a comprehensive view. The advantage of this approach is that the selections are deep, heart-warming, and inspirational-just what is needed to offer a Christ-centered beginning to each day. As is true of all of Winslow's writings, this volume is a gem. Representing devotional writing at its finest, it is replete with memorable statements for spiritual edification. Use this book to treasure those sacred truths of Scripture that will mold your thoughts, words, and actions of Christian living

A Baptist minister for most of his life and contemporary of Charles Spurgeon and J. C. Ryle, he seceded to the Anglican church in his last decade.

We were reading though this as a family for a while. While my wife and I appreciated it, we decided to stop and do something better for our young children. Maybe someday we will come back to it. Only made it about 20% through.

Glorious encouragement for the suffering saint in the Lord Jesus Christ. Oh, such words of love and support, and the pilgrom's keen perspectives offered through the lens of Jesus Christ has lifted my tired head many, many times.

This generation ...

...needs to meet Octavius Winslow, a contemporary of Charles Spurgeon! This devotional is not fluff, but real meat to chew on and swallow. These small portions will provide the careful reader with more than enough to ponder through each day.

Excellent.

This is an excellent daily devotional. It ranks with Spurgeon's morning and evening as a doctrinal and heartwarming devotional. It's wonderful to read writing like this as it runs deeper in it's spirituality than most of evangelical writings of today. It's a great way to start the day.

I love his take on God, the Bible, and the pursuit of holiness.
