Title: A meaty twice a day devotional
Review: Robert Hawker was a minister in the Church of England in the 18th and 19th centuries. He wrote these devotionals intending them to be sold for a penny to the poorer people in his parish. Morning and evening portions means that there are two devotions to read each day, and the portions range from half a page to up to two pages. He does see Christ in every verse, and draws out a spiritual teaching from verses where I wouldn't have ever thought to look. He is constantly writing about Christ, love to Christ, the great themes of redemption, and the glory of God. I found the devotional difficult to read out loud with my wife. Hawker's writing takes some concentration just to read it. I found myself going back over sentences often to catch exactly what he was saying. In all, I liked it and recommend it, though I still prefer Spurgeon'sMorning and Evening: Daily Readings.
