Daily Readings In The Life of Christ is a beautifully written book of daily devotional readings for every Christ follower. Each day offers the Christian a perspective of Christ's life taken from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and encourages faithful believers to apply practical lessons to their own lives. "Daily Readings In The Life of Christ" is borrowed from the sub-title of the book first published by Dr. J. R. Miller in 1887 as "Come Ye Apart." Using an original 1912 printed copy of the book, we have carefully recreated the manuscript preserving much of the formatting and layout, whilst making only minimal spelling changes where we deemed necessary. We have added 12 beautiful hand drawings from 1875 editions of "The Day Of Rest" which was a Christian periodical at the time Dr. Miller wrote the book. To facilitate further study, historical end-notes and a verse index have been added.
