James Smith wrote his Remembrancer for his own flock around 1840, but such was the demand that by 1846 over thirty thousand copies were in circulation. The unique qualities of the Remembrancer can be summarised as: pastoral, doctrinal, experimental (to the heart and experience), and practical. Opening Smith each day will bring you an in-house pastor who will speak to your particular case and situation. You will find there concise and memorable statements of precious doctrine. Your heart will be warmed, comforted, quickened or searched, as your need may be, and God in Christ will be endeared to you increasingly. And you will feel encouraged to run in the way of His commandments with new ardour. The spiritually-minded reader can comfortably live and die upon the wondrous things opened and applied to us here.
