Synopsis:

"These meditations have been written when the children were sleeping, while dinner was roasting in the oven, during convalescence in the hospital, between final examinations and the new semester -- during whatever chinks of time we could find in our days. We suspect that sometimes you will almost feel children having measles or mumps between one paragraph and another. . . . "The twelve of us who have shared our inner lives with you in this book deeply feel the need for fellowship with one another in the Lord. We wish to break the bread of life with you in these pages, and we pray that the Lord Himself may use our words to His glory. --from the Preface
