Originally published in 1905 as Choice Readings For The Home Circle, this newly issued reprint is a collection of stories and poems by M.A. Vroman and is considered one of the cornerstones of inspirational literature so popular among turn-of-the-century readers. Part of a trend of inexpensive prayer books published for "the family circle," this volume contains "best lessons" in order to instill values in the young such as obedience to one's parents; kindness and affection toward brothers, sisters and friends; compassion for the poor; and the necessity for daily observance of the Gospel.These virtuous, if high-minded, stories contain indispensable principles for those interested in moral and religious parables of early 20th-century literature.

Bible readings for the home circle: comprising one hundred and sixty-two readings for public and private study, in which are answered over twenty-eight hundred questions on religious topics, contributed by more than a score of bible students. To which added The game of life, a pictorial allegory.

The compiler of this volume has been gathering a large amount of moral and religious reading, from which selections have been made, admitting only those which may be read with propriety on the Sabbath. This volume will be found to contain the best lessons for the family circle, such as will inculcate principles of obedience to parents, kindness and affection to brothers and sisters and youthful associates, benevolence to the poor, and the requirements of the gospel. These virtuous principles are illustrated by instances of conformity to them, or departure from them, in such a manner as to lead to their love and practice. Great care has been taken in compiling this volume to avoid introducing into it anything of a sectarian or denominational character that might hinder its free circulation among any denomination, or class of society, where there is a demand for moral and religious literature. The illustrations were made especially for this book, and are the result of much careful study. The family circle can be instructed and impressed by high-toned moral and religious lessons in no better way during a leisure hour of the Sabbath, when not engaged in the solemn worship of God, than to listen to one of their number who shall read from this precious volume. May the blessing of God attend it to every home circle that shall give it a welcome, is the prayer of the PUBLISHER.
