A selection of seventeen devotions (namely, devotions 34–42, 24–26, 63, 72, 76, 91, and 95) from To Be Near Unto God. The first part of this selection (devotions 34–42) coincides almost exactly with the Hungarian collection of 1935.05. In a prefatory note the publisher makes reference to the deep spiritual undercurrent that is the secret source of Kuyper’s prodigious energy. After making three citations from the unabridged edition (including the conclusion of Kuyper’s translated preface in 1925.08), the editor remarks that his “choice selection” has been made so that “the thrust of this great devotional classic” may be brought within reach of as many people as possible. A reprint of the unabridged edition would have been too expensive for that purpose.
