Words of Comfort and Cheer

About this book

A Biblically encouraging and Biblically edifying devotional of poetry and words of wisdom for the person struggling with personal family or friends illness or death. There is a short devotional for each day of the year including for leap year.The title of this book was originally titled "CONSOLATION" before being changed to "Words of Comfort & Cheer". The original copyright for "CONSOLATION" was in 1944. The copyright was renewed in 1972 by Zondervan Publishing House."CONSOLATION"/"Words of Comfort & Cheer" was a project that had special meaning for Mrs. Charles E Cowman. Her husband Charles Cowman was a missionary to China before he and his wife had to return to the United States of America due to his rapidly failing health. She experienced firsthand the grief associated with illness and death of a spouse. She decided to write and publish a book that would help millions of others experiencing the same grief hoping "CONSOLATION"/ "Words of Comfort & Cheer" would ease the pain of the loss.The printing I have is King James Version. This book is no longer in print but I have been told that the very last editions ever printed were converted by Zondervan Publishing House to modern language. I can NOT confirm this.
