The Poor Man's Morning and Evening Portions

"The Poor Man's Morning and Evening Portions by Robert Hawker (1753-1827) is a great devotional classic that received its unique name because it was originally published in small "penny" portions so as to be affordable to the poor. Running through numerous editions in the nineteenth century, these devotionals have served as spiritual food and drink for thousands. Hawker excels in Christ-centered, practical divinity. He has been taught by the Spirit how to find Christ in the Scriptures, as well as how to present Him amiably to hungry sinners in search of daily communion with a personal Redeemer. For the genuine Christian, here is daily devotional writing at its best--warmly Christ-centered, eminently practical, personally searching.

Robert Hawker (1753–1827) was a prolific author and experiential, Calvinist preacher in the Church of England. Like Samuel Rutherford, he became well-known for his relish of Christ, which is exemplified most vividly in his book of daily devotions.
