The history of almost all nations is replete with calendar days when the deeds of men long dead are recalled and extolled afresh. Gradually, some of these memorial days have gathered traditions and customs around them. Turning to the Bible we find that days of remembrance are of ancient origin, and were in some instances prescribed by God. And, in our own personal history there are certainly unforgettable days. Whatever memorial day a nation, the Church, or a person recalls, remembrance is an empty gesture unless it results in the rededication of life to those ideals for which many courageous souls were prepared to die, and whose memory history keeps green. It was James Barrie who wrote, "God gave us memory that we might have roses in December."... Herbert W. Lockyer's "All" books give you life-enriching insights into the Bible. From characters you can learn from, to teachings you can apply, to promises you can stand on and prophecies you can count on, Lockyer's time-honored works help you wrap your mind around the Bible and get it into your heart.
