From Harry Almond’s Preface : ‘Many people seek a faith; many others would like to find more reality and effectiveness in the faith they have. They ask, ‘What is God like?’, ‘How can I live the way I should?’, ‘I try to read the Bible in the morning, and I know many people get so much from it; but, honestly, I often fall asleep trying to understand.’ ‘What can I do?’ This book is offered as a help in finding answers to such questions.
‘Many have helped in its preparation, but the greatest obligation is to Dr. Frank N.D. Buchman and those who carry forward the work he began. Through that fellowship have come many of the truths gathered here and an experience of the Cross which makes everything new and is infectious.
‘A particular debt is owed to Miles G.W. Phillimore, to whose privately printed booklet, Just for Today, this collection is a sequel. Before his death he gave permission to use his material, including his own poem, Not as one.
‘The Old Testament for Modern Explorers, Blandford Press, London, by Roland W. Wilson is a useful introduction as are the J. B. Phillips New Testament Commentaries , published in paperback editions by Macmillan. A thorough treatment of God’s guidance is found in Canon B.H. Streeter’s The God Who Speaks (Macmillan, London and New York); or in an abridgement by Roger Hicks, obtainable from Grosvenor Books, London.
Unless otherwise noted, biblical quotations are from the Revised Standard Version.’
