The meditations and songs of Frances Ridley Havergal have provided solace, comfort, and everlasting peace to thousands of souls. Her ministry in poetry and prose is ever being used by the Spirit of God to teach, comfort, exhort, and convict. All her poetry and prose is saturated with the living Word of God; it has a freshness and power which only the eternal dew of heavenly truth could impart. Frances always looked to the Lord for her messages before writing anything. On one occasion she wrote to her sister of her strong belief that, “If I am to write to any good, a great deal of living must go into a very little writing.” In an effort to preserve her prose for this generation, Opened Treasures was first published in 1962. “She yielded herself utterly to God. By virtue of this, her writings reached and moved a multitude of souls.”—T. H. Darlow

THE DAYS OF HEAVEN The days of heaven are peaceful days, Still as yon glassy sea; So calm, so still in God, our days, As the days of heaven would be. The days of heaven are holy days, From sin forever free Two little words are found in the Greek version here. They are translated "_ton kairon_" in the revised version, "Buying up for yourselves the opportunity." The two words _ton kairon_ mean, literally, the opportunity. They do not refer to time in general, but to a special point of time, a juncture, a crisis, a moment full of possibilities and quickly passing by, which we must seize and make the best of before it has passed away.

A Guide to Navigate Evangelical Feminism In a society where gender roles are a hot-button topic, the church is not immune to the controversy. In fact, the church has wrestled with varying degrees of evangelical feminism for decades.

Frances Ridley Havergal's classic devotional manual is full of instructive revelation; readers learn how a great many aspects of our lives fall under the influence of the Lord Jesus Christ. Using her gift for eloquence both in verse and prose, Havergal discusses sequentially the myriad aspects of humanity's affinity with Jesus. Topics such as our intellectual abilities, our wealth - both literal and figurative - and our capacity for love and compassion each receive chapters. Terms such as 'Almighty' are explained with depth and meaning, that we understand intimately their true nature in the context of faith. Havergal is careful to note that the Master 'keeping' these aspects of our personalities is not an act of control; his 'use' of what is given further benefit the humble believer. We are shown how those who surrender their will to God find themselves imbued further - whether this be a capacity for emotion and virtue, or knowledge of our existence and the world around us, or a will to do greater things mindful of the Christian precepts. The final portion of this book contain a selection of relevant poetry by Frances Havergal concerning the divine. Several of these are festive in tone, celebrating such occasions as Christmas, New Years and the Sabbath with a pure and happy tone, while others imagine the thoughts of God as he presides over his creation.
