“Comforted of God” compiled by A J Pollock
“First compiled over 100 years ago, this compilation of Scripture texts, prose and poetry shines the light of God’s Word into the dark situations of disappointment, illness and bereavement. In such circumstances it provides encouragement, strength, illumination, understanding and comfort. Over thirty thousand copies were produced during the first half of the twentieth century, bringing relief to many” suffering through war, pandemic, unemployment and other ills of the day.
“Over one hundred years have passed since the first edition was compiled, and yet the basic problems of the human condition remain essentially unchanged; and God’s Word has as much to say to those facing the darkest of situations in the twenty-first century as it ever did.”
So ran the Introduction to the re-typeset 2010 edition. How relevant to the coronavirus-torn world today! The contents of this attractive volume serve to confirm the immensely valuable role of prose and poetry to lift the spirit and draw the stressed, the discouraged and the sorrowful to the Saviour, who is the Prince of Peace.
