A GOLDEN TREASURY for the Children of God by C.H.V. Bogatzky
We have just published our second edition of A Golden Treasury, a devotional (reprinted in 1746 by the American Tract Society).
Twenty years ago, while browsing an antique store, I found this little book by C.H.V. Bogatzky consisting of writings and poetry “for every day of the year.” Flipping through, I was convinced that I had found a treasure. At the time I did not know if I wanted to buy this book with pages that were discolored and printing so small and difficult to read, but the content, continually referring to the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, led me to purchase this book; and I was not disappointed.
After years of using this devotional, my daughter and I ~ neither of us knowing our way around a computer ~ meticulously typed these meditations, keeping to the same format. Month by month we published them in booklet form for our family and friends. For several years, we saved the document and forgot it. Then ten years ago, we formatted the book for publication through Amazon’s Kindle program.
As this was my first eBook, I published with a scant knowledge of self-publishing. With this new edition, we have our own cover and the formatting is clearer and easier to read. Thankfully, after twelve of my own books, our publishing has improved.
We ask the Lord’s blessings on this new publication for those who will be reading this year. Even if you decide not to purchase, at least enjoy the sample reading for January on Amazon.
If you purchased the first edition, please contact me and I will send you a free copy of the new edition.
Much love and blessings in our Lord,
Fran

What a treasure indeed Fran— headed over to Amazon— but to have that original— I love old books — really old— for each old book holds its on wealth of stories— who were those who each owned the book— how were they impacted by the book— were lives changed—so many things to ponder while pondering the writings of the author- thank you for sharing your treasure!

Thank you for your comment, Julie. There is only one name associated with this copy, “bought by Miss Matilda Cramer at Pella in 1855 for $40. I paid $6, marked down from $10 at the antique store.

Good. Is it readable? Most of the old ones are difficult in their typesetting.
