This superb collection of Samuel Rutherford's letters includes a biographical account of his life, together with a copious arrangement of notes and an appendix.As one of Scotland's foremost theologians and authors in the 17th century, Samuel Rutherford was a gifted and busy wordsmith. Throughout a career spanning decades, he wrote a series of valued books on both religious topics and Presbyterianism in the political sphere. A lively and engaged thinker, Rutherford's life and thoughts offers a good portrayal of the evolution in both church and state in his era.Although most known for his ideas on constitutionalism and on military principles, Samuel Rutherford in the day-to-day lived for ordinary men and women believers who frequented his church in Kirkcudbrightshire, Galloway. He would often pay visits to the sick, correspond with their families, and offer emotional comfort and reassurance in times of difficulty.
This book provides brief thoughts for each day of the year selected from the 'most remarkable series of devotional letters that the literature of the Reformed Church can show' (John Macleod). Here is spiritual counsel and insight to give you renewed strength for each day. Each day presents a distinct opportunity to glorify God since 'as many suns as God maketh to arise upon you, ye have as many new lives' (Samuel Rutherford).

The letters of Samuel Rutherford (1600-1661) have been a source of encouragement to Christians for over 350 years; but to the modern reader their language and structure can often hinder the enjoyment of their true value. In 1913, Hamilton Smith (1862-1943) set out to make the heart of the letters accessible to the reader of his day.
