Description
There was a man. And it happened -- as such things often so happen -- that this man went back into his days that were gone. Again and again and again he went back. Even as every man, even as you and I, so this man went back into his Yesterdays. Then -- why then there was a woman. And it happened -- as such things sometimes so happen -- that this woman also went back into her days that were gone. Again and again and again she went back. Even as every woman, even as you and I, so this woman show more went back into her Yesterdays.From the introduction: Behold the child, by Nature's kindly law, Pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw; Some livelier plaything gives his youth delight, A little louder, but as empty quite; Scarfs, garters, gold, amuse his riper stage, And beads and prayer-books are the toys of age; Pleased with this bauble still, as that before; Till tired he sleeps, and life's poor play is o'er. "AN ESSAY ON MAN"--Pope. show lessTags

One of the sweetest reads I have ever had...it inspires one to relational holiness, and delights the soul with the reward of waiting for God's best! Very uniquely written, in that the main characters are never named...they are only "he" and "she".
This book is divided into chapters by "the thirteen truly great things in life", staring with "dreams" and "occupation." It "glorifies the wife and mother" and the home, but not heavy-handed.
