Swiss Letters and Alpine Poems has letters written home to family when F.R.H. was visiting in Switzerland, posthumously compiled and published by her oldest sister, Miriam Crane. Letters by the Late Frances Ridley Havergal was compiled and published by another sister, Maria. The letters and other items in Lilies and Shamrocks show Frances' long, deep interest to support the Irish Society, a group ministering to the Irish in their own language. One or two of these letters will have you shaking with laughter (no one could write on paper how to imitate the sound of a donkey in the Swiss Alps as...

The first eleven chapters of this book were a posthumous compilation of magazine articles that Frances Ridley Havergal wrote on hymnwriters and hymns. F.R.H. being such a gifted poet and hymnwriter, her selections and comments are very insightful and helpful. The last of her articles here was written on Horatius Bonar's hymns, not finished. After that, two similar essays by Frances' oldest sister Miriam Crane are given, one on Frances's own hymns and one on their father William Henry Havergal's hymns. This book is another set of pieces known by very few over the past century, yet having true...

At the end is the small volume Treasure Trove, extracts from F.R.H.'s unpublished letters and Bible notes posthumously compiled by her niece and god-daughter, Frances Anna Shaw.

Frances Ridley Havergal spent much time and attention on this calendar book. Her Preface was dated May, 1879, and no one had thought that she would die weeks later, on June 3. This book was another labor of love to her King and to His people. She selected one or two or three Scripture verses or excerpts of verses, and also a verse from her own poetry, for each of the 366 days. She also gave a complete poem by her father, Rev. William Henry Havergal, at the start of each month, and finally a poem by him at the end of the year. Everything in this book is richly edifying. Day by day, looking...

Frances Ridley Havergal wrote these two books at the end of her life, very shortly before her unexpected early death at 42 and a half. She completed Kept for the Master's Use, an encouragement to believers to follow wholly the Lord Jesus, built around the verses of her Consecration Hymn, published soon after her death. She planned thirteen chapters for Starlight Through the Shadows, but only finished eleven of them before she was called into His presence. Starlight has much truth and encouragement for the invalid and those who are afflicted; Frances had been herself invalid and sick near...

Frances Ridley Havergal taught a Sunday school class in her early teens, and for most of the rest of her life she was in several ways extensively involved with children, though she never married or had children of her own. She loved the little ones and wanted them to know and love the Lord Jesus. Among her other writings for children in poetry, prose, and music, she completed these three 31-day books, having a brief piece for each day of a month. These are so good. Though deeply beneficial for adults of any age, these were specifically meant for and addressed to children. So clearly,...

This is an example of the Lord's indescribable love to His own. This book is taken from the five-volume, 8,014-page edition of The Complete Works of Frances Ridley Havergal, an edition prepared over several years by a team of people in the U.S., England, and Canada.
