Thoughts for Life’s Journey

George Matheson offers poignant messages on life and living in this series of reflections upon the divinity of Christ, God's covenant with all of mankind, and the avoidance of wrongdoing and temptation.


A superb selection of over 100 distinctive topics on religious and moral themes, Thoughts for Life's Journey is a lively and eclectic book of faith. The topics are wide-ranging, positive themes including the attainment of humility, the good effects of kindness, and the beneficence of belief in Jesus Christ. Cautionary tales and anecdotes, with relevant quotations of Biblical scripture, also abound - many of these have a moral element, intended to imbue mindfulness in the reader.


Matheson is particularly interested in the many proverbs and life lessons found in the Biblical psalms - dozens of his meditations allude to, or focus chiefly or wholly upon, the wisdom found in these verses. These gems of insight are intended to form a wellspring of knowledge, which the reader can draw upon during times of hardship or difficulty in life. The eternal comfort provided by God and the Lord Jesus Christ is offered here in abundance.


The author was a famous author of hymnals and books who won appreciation in academia and among the general public for his keen understanding of God and Christian theology. His renown led to offers of higher position, such as a pastorate in an upscale district of London; he turned these down however, preferring to remain in his native locality of Scotland and offer his teachings and ministry there.
