CHARLES DICKENS AND THE LORD
While browsing through the used bookstore today, I found a book by Charles Dickens, The Life of Our Lord. It was a letter written in 1849, for his own children, to leave a permanent record of his thoughts. Eighty-five years later, we also became privy to his thoughts. What makes this book so special is its simplicity, written from the heart. There is an occasional error on a few of his thoughts, but the significance of the book is intact. We read how important the Lord is in our lives and what He has done for man. His effortless use of words captures the interest of the young and old alike, yearning for more. This is good advice for all of us. Speak simply and gently from the heart, leaving a long-lasting memory. Dickens’ book needs to sit by every bed stand, reading peaceful thoughts to the self or the young, before drifting off to dreams of our Lord. My 23-cent book purchase today will now gently feed the minds of many.
