Large Print. 172 pages. Reflections on the Great Truths of the Christian Religion for Every Day in the Month is a month-long spiritual guide offering daily meditations on core Christian doctrines. Written in the 18th century and first published around 1801 (though earlier editions exist), it's designed to deepen the reader's faith through contemplation of eternal realities. Challoner structures the book with 31 reflections-one for each day of the month-focusing on what he calls the "great truths" of Christianity: Death, Judgment, Heaven, Hell, and the Passion of Christ, among others. Each day's reflection typically includes 4-5 points for consideration, encouraging readers to ponder these truths deeply and apply them to their lives. The work begins with an introduction on how to meditate effectively-advising a quiet time and place, shutting out worldly distractions, and revisiting key insights throughout the day. Challoner emphasizes the consequences of ignoring these truths, drawing from scripture like Jeremiah 12:11 ("With desolation is all the land made desolate: because there is none that considereth in his heart") to underscore that a lack of reflection is the root of spiritual ruin. The meditations cover: Death: The inevitability and unpredictability of our end, urging preparation. Judgment: The soul's reckoning before God, stressing accountability. Heaven: The eternal reward for a life well-lived, inspiring hope. Hell: The torment awaiting the unrepentant, a sobering warning. Christ's Passion: The sacrifice that redeems humanity, calling for gratitude and imitation. Challoner's tone is direct and urgent, reflecting his pastoral mission to awaken readers from spiritual "lethargy." He contrasts the fleeting nature of earthly pursuits with the permanence of eternity, lamenting how people "play with what is the most precious of all things" (time) and only regret it when it's too late-like the damned who realize their folly in an endless "fruitless repentance." His goal isn't just fear, though; it's transformation. He pushes for "firm resolutions of amendment," tailoring daily takeaways to combat personal failings.
