Other editions of book The Peep of Day

This little work aims to be the very least of all;—not in size, but in the humility of its contents. It aims at the superlative degree of littleness; and in this point seeks to resemble the least watch ever made—the least picture ever painted—the tiniest flower that ever grew. It desires to be among books as the humming-bird among birds.As soon as a child's mind is capable of receiving systematic instruction, this humble work attempts to convey it.From a very early period a pious mother will, by casual remarks, endeavor to lead her child to the knowledge of his Creator and Redeemer; and in due time she will impart systematic instruction. It may be at three years of age—it may not be till five—that the child is prepared to listen to these little lessons. But—sooner or later—he will give evidence of his immortality by willingly hearkening to discourse concerning the Invisible—the Eternal—the Infinite.The simplicity of the language may seem unworthy of the sublimity of the subject treated of in these pages; and some may smile at the contrast;—but the little one will not smile—except with joy to hear of his Heavenly Father, and of his Incarnate Redeemer; for the merry inmates of the nursery are capable of tasting higher pleasures than toys and dainties can afford.

Each daily segment starts with a devotional section, an activity section, the lesson itself, questions and finally a conclusion to wrap up the segment. Peep of Day is split into eight sections of between three and fifteen lessons.Section 1: My Family and Me - Body, Parents, SoulSection 2: Angels - Good Angels, Wicked AngelsSection 3: God's World - The World (3 lessons), Adam & Eve, The first sin, The Son of GodSection 4: Jesus has Arrived - Virgin Mary, Birth of Jesus, Shepherds, Wise Men, King HerodSection 5: Jesus at Work - The Temptation, 12 disciples, First miracle, Several miracles, Sinner & Simon, Storm at Sea, Jairus' daughter, Loaves and fishes, Kindness of Jesus, Lord's prayer, Jesus foretells his death, Lazarus, Jesus in Jerusalem, The Temple, JudasSection 6: The Last Meal - The Last Supper (3 lessons)Section 7: The Final Night - The Garden, Peter's denial, Pontius Pilate, Death of JudasSection 8: Jesus Dies - The Cross (3 lessons), The Soldiers, The GraveThese classic devotional books have been the source of blessing to countless Christian families over several generations.
