Archives

We have been writing and publishing devotionals for more than thirty years, and our Archives contain all past devotional issues, as well as booklets we have produced.

Our first devotional, chronologically, was Aspects, which began publication in 1990 in a printed edition only. This was an eight-page, monthly publication. In 1994 we began offering Aspects via the internet and, as they say, the rest was history. In 1996 we began offering Reflections by the Pond—a brief, plain text column sent out every Wednesday—along with Aspects. Closing down Aspects, we began publishing The Journey in 2004, followed by Listening in 2007. Both were weekly publications.

In 2008 we resurrected Reflections by the Pond—now a full-color, multi-page publication. This is our current devotional, published here on the 15th of every month, in three different editions: PDF-print, PDF-screen, and HTML (that is, web page).

All earlier devotionals are included here in our Archives, accessed from the list below, except for archives of the current and original Reflections by the Pond, which will be found under the main menu Reflections at the top of this page. Please note: The files are original, meaning the text is just as originally published—some times many years ago. They include original headers and footers, e-mail addresses and web URLs. Please disregard any e-mail or web site references contained in the files, as most are no longer valid.

In most cases you can download individual issues, in PDF format, or monthly packages in a ZIP file. On any PDF link, left-click to open the file in your browser, or right-click to select from the context menu and download the file to your computer.

Links below that are BOLD are in place and available; the rest are pending.

Did you know…?

Our four-year study of First Corinthians has now drawn to a close. All 170 sessions, in both text and audio, remain available at the First Corinthians page. More important, we are pleased to offer the complete study in one PDF volume! This makes an excellent resource for any study of the letter. All this is available at our First Corinthians page.

Remember: Everything at this web site is free and safe—no cost, no ads, no stealing of data, no strings, no begging for money. Just lots of free resources for living closer to God.

The writer to the Hebrews quotes from a number of important Psalms in his epistle/sermon. We have recently added A Five-psalm Preparatory Study for the Book of Hebrews: Psalms 102, 40, 8, 110, 95 —which supplies an essential preface to the Hebrews study. Even if you are one of the thousands who have already downloaded and used our Hebrews study, this new resource will contribute to your understanding of that book. And if you have not yet downloaded our popular Hebrews study, be sure to obtain this new five-psalm study as well, and work through it before beginning Hebrews.
