SILENT TIMES, A BOOK TO HELP
IN READING THE BIBLE INTO LIFE by J.R. Miller 1886 The point at which many Christians
fail in the using of divine truths is the point at which doctrine
should be transmuted into life. They know and honor the Bible
as the Word of God, and sincerely wish to conform their lives to
its inspired teachings, but have difficulty in applying them to
the actual experiences of daily life. This book is offered as
a humble help in this direction. Its aim is to bring the divine
lessons down and give some hints of the way they may be used on
common days and in actual experiences of those days. The title Silent
Times is suggestive of the need of seasons of quiet in every
life that would grow into full, rich beauty. It is suggestive
also of one particular use that may be made of the book. the
reading of its chapters or portions of them in the silent times of
busy, feverish days, as helps in the direction of true Christian
growth. The book is sent out in Christ's
name, and with the hope that it may make the way a little
plainer for some earnest pilgrims, and religion a little more real. and that it may become a lamp
for some dark ways, and a staff for some rough and steep paths.
