Lincoln's Daily Devotional

By Abraham Lincoln

Book Overview

Follow your faith each day alongside Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln carried in his pocket a spiritual book of days titled A Believer's Daily Treasure, which was originally published in the mid-1800s. There is speculation that the devotional may have been given to Lincoln by his wife Mary. Applewood's 2015 edition of the book includes an introduction by Carl Sandburg, which was first published in a 1957 edition. Elegantly stamped in a hardback edition, this title is perfect for any person of faith, Lincoln lover or history buff.

Customer Reviews

A good devotional, as well as a glimpse into Lincon's faith

This reprint of the sole extant copy of a tract published in 1852, which was probably but not certainly given to Abraham by Mary Todd, is inof itself an excellent daily devotional. Unlike many contemporary devotionals, the commentary after the daily passage is brief, to the point, and timeless. Carl Sandberg's prolog provides us with some further information about Lincon's faith.
