Book Description

Excerpt from Consolation This little book is dedicated to you in the hope that it may give you consolation in your sorrow, or at least direct you to the only source from which the healing of all wounded affections comes, and give you some hints of the means by which you can gain access to its consoling and life-giving power. When a great affliction falls upon us our eyes are so blinded with tears that we cannot see the heavenly light that is shining around us, and we need help to open them to a consciousness of its presence. We are so stunned by the blow that we cannot feel the gentle and soothing presence of Him who promises to comfort all who mourn. But oftener, perhaps, our wounded affections are so sore that we shrink from every contact and every effort to heal them.
