Joy and Strength is a compilation of 366 daily meditations that were originally published by Mary Wilder (Foote) Tileston in 1901.
We may be grateful for the life of Mary, who, from 1843-1934 of Salem Massachusetts, possessed a love for re-searching, and recognizing and sharing, timeless spiritual literature. Here in this small book are powerfully touching reflections and Christian commentary which she gathered from across many countries and centuries, featuring the likes of - St. Francis, St. Augustine, Thomas Kempis, Hannah Whitall Smith, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Samuel Rutherford, among dozens of others.
In clouds or sunshine, at the start or end of your day, these passages are thoughtfully curated to sustain or renew thy faith in practicable step by step fashion, and remind one of what may be done to help thy fellow-travellers.
