A calendar with a difference
Every morning as believers around the globe lift up their hearts to God to begin their day,
a familiar component of that process will be the Choice Gleanings calendar.
In 1922 William J. Pell began Gospel Folio Press. Becoming exercised about producing a daily
devotional calendar, Choice Gleanings it was launched in 1940 and was an immediate success.
Within a few years Gospel Folio Press found itself producing 40,000 calendars annually.
Material for the calendars was gleaned from books, originally, but over time the calendar
included more original writing than 'gleanings.' Today almost sixty writers from around
the world contribute meditations to the Choice Gleanings calendar.
Gospel Folio Press has, with the establishment of this new Choice Gleanings
website, advanced the legacy of this 'calendar with a difference.'
The 2006 calendar will be mailed worldwide so that, as for the last sixty-five years, those who read it daily will gain encouragement and comfort in
the situations and circumstances of life. For those who preferring an electronic version, they can subscribe to a daily email version of the calendar.
Either way this is a wonderful instrument used by God to build up His people.

DAILY READINGS: Num. 25 to 26:51; Prov. 22:17 to 23:11; Luke 1:26-56 |
| Psalm 139:14 Marvelous are Thy works. |
| Britain’s Sunday Times (June 11, 2006), quoted Francis Collins,
director of the Human Genome Research Institute, as saying that
“this 3.1 billion-letter instruction book that conveys all kinds of information…
about humankind, you can’t survey that…without a sense
of awe.” The Times went on to report that Collins was an atheist earlier
in life, and “very happy with the idea that God didn’t exist, and
had no interest in me” but that what He saw of God in creation “was
so overwhelming, I felt, I cannot resist this another moment.” How
much more should we be “overwhelmed” when we see the glory of
God in creation, but even more so in redemption. —Harold Smith |
| Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art. —Carl G. Boberg & R.J. Hughes |
