This is a book reminding mothers of the wonderful blessing in raising children. Very encouraging for active mothers, as well as grandmothers who can remember fondly what it was like having little ones around. Because of the short entries, it need not be read from beginning to end.

The cover itself is worthy of pride of place on your best book shelf. The graphics are enchanting. It has beveled brown boards with a detailed country scene. Text and images on boards and spine are embossed in black and gold gilt; there's a blind stamp decoration on back cover and decorative pale gold end papers with leaf/flower pattern. All page edges are in gold gilt; tissue guards herald the beginning of each of the three sections.

There are 454 pages, with Benediction on the last page.
Dimensions: 9” x 6 ½” x 1 ¼”; this is a very heavy volume, weighing about 3 pounds.


Condition: Cover, all pages, and tissue guards are intact; spine and hinges are straight and solid. Interior pages are in very good condition with no chips or cracks, but occasional pencil marks and dog ear corners. There is an inscription and label of previous owner on inside cover and frontispiece. Age tanning is consistent throughout, with minor foxing; some minimal edge wear to corners and spine (see last two photos).

This beautiful volume includes:
· dozens of 19th century steel engravings.
· selections from more than 200 of the most enduring Christian writers of the past 400 years.
· scores of devotional thoughts for daily reading and quiet time.
· quotable wisdom for speakers, preachers, teachers, fathers and mothers
