This is a lifetimes's collection of pieces of poetry and prose which have encouraged one Christian and which might encourage others. Its title comes from a sentence of Thomas Traherne. The entries range from the light-hearted to the serious and inspiring; and they could be sampled, used for reference, or read straight through to inspire and encourage. It was divided into themed sections: faith, creation, human creatures, the mercy people need, the grace given to them, dying, rising.
