My Brother's Keeper

by James Waddel Alexander

This is the second in our series of "American Sunday School Union Classic Reprints." It first appeared in 1838 written by J.W. Alexander (1804-1859). It is a timeless example of how an older brother should admonish and encourage a younger brother. Topics covered in the letters include: On Reading the Scriptures Gratitude to Parents Shortness of Life Early Rising Bodily Exercise Habits of Diligence Friendships & the Danger of Evil Companions Truth and Falsehood Evil Speaking Secret Prayer The Great Concern: the Salvation of your Soul Although a brilliant pastor and professor, Alexander wrote each letter with his youngest brother in mind, and thus in simple, straightforward language. Superbly written!

A very profitable read. Simple to understand yet filled with great truths. I suggest reading one "letter" each day just to soak it in.

[Rodney Tripp]

It is worth reading again in my view
