by Percy C. (Percy Clough) Ainsworth
A gentle collection of meditations drawn from the Psalms, this volume invites listeners into a quiet hour of reflection. Each piece was originally penned for a 19th‑century Methodist periodical, yet the language remains clear and accessible. The author’s calm, conversational style helps the ancient verses speak to today’s seeking heart.
The central thread follows the image of a threshold—the daily passage between the world’s demanding work and the sanctuary of home. By examining the promise “The Lord shall keep thy going out and thy coming in,” the reflections address modern anxieties: industrial pressures, the noise of commerce, and the subtle indifference that can eclipse faith. They offer reassurance that divine presence does not disappear at the door but walks beside us through every toil and every rest.
Ideal for moments of personal devotion or a brief pause in a busy day, these meditations nurture a sense of inner peace. Listeners will find encouragement to carry the Psalms’ timeless hope into both the public and private spheres of life.
