Book Overview

31 daily reflections on the words of Jesus, providing strength and comfort to weary souls. "Macduff, who, in his inimitable devotional works, has given so many heavenly suggestions, so much material for devout meditations, and so many sacred impulses. It is to the Rev. John R. Macduff, of Glasgow, an eloquent minister of the established church of Scotland, we are indebted for those incomparable Christian manuals, which have dropped manna round the tents of thousands of pilgrims in Great Britain and America." -The Lutheran Home Journal, Volume 3, 1858 Reverend John Ross Macduff (1818-1895), a Presbyterian minister, was born at Bonhard, near Perth, Scotland, and educated at the high school of Edinburgh and in the university of the same city.
