This edition is a collection of 108 poems that are the foundation of Frances Ridley Havergal's most popular hymns. These verses often contain several stanzas not found in a typical hymnal. Some favorites of hers include: "Take My Life and Let It Be," "Who is on the Lord's Side," "Lord Speak to me," "Truehearted Wholehearted," and "Like a River Glorious."

This book is a discussion of redemption and sanctification presented as a "conversation-piece among a few private friends," who are both secular and Christian. Among the five fictitious people there is "Agrippa" who denies the atonement of Christ and "Paulinus" who affirms the atonement. As the Preface states: "The author of these papers has been often grieved to see such a new sort of Christianity published and propagated in the world, as leaves out the propitiatory sacrifice of our blessed Saviour, and the sanctifying operations of the Holy Spirit, which in his esteem are two of the chief glories of the gospel."

William Cowper wrote this testimony of his journey to salvation. It covers his childhood school days, his time at St. Alban's, his move to Huntingdon, and finally his move to the Unwin's in 1765. It is a passionate account of William Cowper's thoughts of "self-murder" and also his joy in finding God. The Appendix includes many letters by William Cowper from the years 1765-6, which illustrate his remarkable conversion. An appendix article by Samuel Miller shows that suicide is a sin against God, human nature, our fellow man, and our interests beyond the grave.

Herman had an unfortunate injury and was forced to lay in bed and think. His grandmother told him to "ask our dear Lord why He spared his life on that terrible night, since surely it was to do something for Him." Soon after that little Herman received a special gift from God. Herman's father became very sick and "lay, day after day, night after night, in profound sleep." Max realized "My long sickness has made me another man." The story illustrates how God uses affliction to develop spiritual life in people.

Matthew Henry exhorts his readers to balance the concepts of hope and fear, as in Psalm 147:11. Balance a dread of God with a humble delight in him; a trembling for sin balanced with a triumph in Christ; a vigilance of ourselves balanced with a thankful grace; a caution balanced with a confidence; a holy fear of coming short balanced with sense of grace to persevere. Also discussed are the pitfalls of prosperity and disappointment that throw off this balance.
