The Enchiridion or Handbook of Epictetus (Ancient Greek: Ἐγχειρίδιον

Ἐπικτήτου, Enkheirídion Epiktḗtou) is a short manual of Stoic ethical

advice compiled by Arrian, a 2nd-century disciple of the Greek

philosopher Epictetus. Although the content is mostly derived from the

Discourses of Epictetus, it is not a summary of the Discourses but

rather a compilation of practical precepts. Eschewing metaphysics,

Arrian focuses his attention on Epictetus's work applying philosophy to

daily life. Thus, the book is a manual to show the way to achieve mental

freedom and happiness in all circumstances.

April 28 marks the 300th anniversary of the death of St. Louis Marie

Grignion de Montfort, one of the most important promoters of Marian

devotion, the Rosary, and consecration to Our Lady as a sure means of

growing in grace and in love for Jesus her Son and our Lord.

It was de Montfort’s method of consecration to Our Lady that St. John Paul II made and led to his motto: Totus Tuus.

In

Crossing the Threshold of Hope, St. John Paul II wrote, “Thanks to St.

Louis de Montfort, I came to understand that true devotion to the Mother

of God is actually Christocentric, indeed, it is very profoundly rooted

in the mystery of the Blessed Trinity, and the mysteries of the

Incarnation and Redemption."

Have you ever felt you would like to walk side-by-side with the individuals you have read about in the Bible and to have talked with them and learned from them? Reading this book is the closest thing to knowing them this side of Heaven. Selections from three of the finest Bible scholars of any age: D. L. Moody, T. DeWitt Talmage, and Joseph Parker, have been combined in this book describing foremost characters that are found in the Old and New Testaments.

They, from their immense intellectual store-house, have brought out profitable, practical lessons and profound thoughts, regarding these Bible Characters. The characters are listed in alphabetical order for easy reference. However, this is much more than a reference book. It is a narrative that will also yield instruction and blessing with its rich imagery. Easy and pleasurable reading.

It frequently occurs to the devout Bible student and to the earnest Christian that, if he could have had the personal acquaintance of Jesus, and other Bible characters, it would have helped materially in the cultivation of a religious and spiritual life. One feels that, if he could have been a James, or a John, a Martha, or a Mary; if he could have stood by Jesus himself, and listened to the words falling from His lips: observed his life, become acquainted with his thought, and felt that silent, subtle influence emanating from his personality; such would have been potential factors, aiding one onward and upward in the divine pathway.

So also, but in lesser degree, one regrets the impossibility of personal contact with Elijah, Isaiah, John, Paul, et al. But time has drawn the veil, and we cannot lift it. We must look at them through the varying atmosphere of many generations, and the best we can do is to avail ourselves of the best aids possible, and through them draw as near as possible to these great and good characters, so closely linked with our religious belief and our faith in the Infinite and Eternal.

One of Brooklyn’s greatest divines once said, that he had never visited Palestine personally, but by study he had become so thoroughly acquainted with that country, that, should he be left at any point in Palestine at midnight, he would be able to tell in the morning, from the surrounding topography, where he was.

So the editor of this volume has sought the scholars who have been recognized by the world as the leading religious teachers of their age, and culled from their utterances choice selections, respecting Jesus and the “Holy men of old, who spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.”

JOSEPH PARKER, who, from his immense intellectual store-house, well filled, has brought out such wonderful thoughts, respecting the Bible Characters.

The editor of this volume then presents you, in this age, when intelligent minds are looking for the greatest and the best, with the best thoughts of these great men, respecting the Christ and other great characters which adorn the pages of the Holy Writ.
