The purpose of this book is to bring together in one convenient volume some of the best devotional verse the English language affords and thus to make available to present day Christians a rich spiritual heritage which the greater number of them for various reasons do not now enjoy.I have not hesitated to apply the term "mystical" to the material I have collected here though I readily admit that fewer than half a dozen of the men and women who would be called true mystics in the strict classical sense will be found here.

And for that matter the same thing may be said of the inspired writings of such men as Moses and David and Isaiah and Daniel and Paul and John the works of the latter showing more than traces of the mystical spirit being indeed charged full with it.Wilder Publications is a green publisher.
