Why do we pray? What is God able to do? Why is the Bible like a valentine? Is God alive? Can you sign up for immortality? What causes worry? What are you searching for? What do we see? What do you have in the house? Why hobbies? Do we sometimes get into a rut at Christmas? These are just some of the practical spiritual questions addressed in this collection of biblical meditations. They were delivered mainly in women's mission societies in a small-town church during the second half of the twentieth century. Besides offering practical spiritual enrichment, they also provide insights into social life in a previous age and are thus of historical interest.
