Daily Thoughts from Phillips Brooks

Phillips Brooks — A short thought for every day of the year from the sermons and writings of Phillips Brooks, published in 1893, the year he died, with a tribute by F. W. Farrar. Its publisher bound a companion volume in with it, so the readings from 1 July to 31 December are Henry Drummond’s.
