We are humans—men and women who are wounded, grieve, and grow weary in this life. Yet as children of God, we have a Healer, a Comforter, and a resting place in His arms. And the God who created mankind in His image is also the One who longs for an eternal relationship with each individual, drawing that person to Him amidst suffering. Horatius Bonar's Night of Weeping reveals the biblical view of suffering and what it means to rejoice during it.
Our desire is to minister to the saints in the consolation and admonition of the Lord. We would seek to bear their burdens, to bind up their wounds, and to dry up at least some out of their many tears. To comfort those who mourn is not only to act in obedience to the command, "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ"; it is to walk by the side of JESUS in His visits of mercy to His suffering saints on earth; nay, it is to be fellow-workers with the HOLY GHOST as the Church's Comforter in all her tribulations and distresses.
In 1859, at the largest recorded slave auction in American history, over 400 men, women, and children were sold by the Butler Plantation estates. This book is one of the first to analyze the operation of this auction and trace the lives of slaves before, during, and after their sale. Immersing herself in the personal papers of the Butlers, accounts from journalists that witnessed the auction, genealogical records, and oral histories, Anne C. Bailey weaves together a narrative that brings the auction to life. Demonstrating the resilience of African American families, she includes interviews from the living descendants of slaves sold on the auction block, showing how the memories of slavery have shaped people's lives today. Using the auction as the focal point, The Weeping Time is a compelling and nuanced narrative of one of the most pivotal eras in American history, and how its legacy persists today.

Not illustrated. 1864 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VIII. THE REBUKING. It is worth while noticing the word which id used in the two well-known passages which speak of chastisement, "Neither faint when thou art rebuked ot him."* " As many as 1 love, I rebuke and chasten."t A little inquiry into its meaning. and a little comparing of texts will help to set it in its true light. . It is the same word used in Matt. xviii. 15: " If thy brother trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault." It is the same word used in Luke iii. 19, when John is said to have re proved Herod. It is the same word used in John xvi. 8, 16 When He cometh, He will reprove the world of sin." We learn, then, from these expressions, that rebuke is not simply some stern word or frown, implying displeasure on the part of God, but such a frown as " tells us our faults "--such a frown as reproves or convinces us of sin. It is God's way of pointing out what he sees to be amiss in us, of call Heb xii. 5. t ReT- 19 ing our attention to it as a thing which displeases him, and. on account of which, if not put away, he must certainly deal with us in chastisement. The word rebuke seems to imply something more gentle than chastisement. And it is of some importance to consider it .in this light. I know not a better illustration of it than Christ's address to the churches of Asia. The especial preciousness of these lies* in this, that they show us what the heart of Christ is when reproving. What a discovery do they give us of this! Let us hear him addressing them. Thus he rebukes the angel of the church of Ephesus: --" Nevertheless, I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love; remember, therefore, from whence thou art fallen, and repent." Thus he rebukes the church of Pergamos: " I have a...
The Night of Weeping expounds compassionately and beautifully a biblical view of suffering, showing how it is an integral part of belonging to Gods family, how to cope with it, and how it benefits the believer. The chapters on the purifying and solemnizing fruits of suffering are themselves worth the price of the book. The Morning of Joy shows how God leads believers to rejoice in the present and future joys of the living church, particularly through fellowshipping with the resurrected Christ. The chapters on the majestic kingdom of Christ and the superlative joys of glory are most uplifting. By the Spirits grace, both books can be life-changing; they present us with a clear, powerful, profound, and balanced view of the Christian life and of Gods dealings with His people. This book compassionately expounds a biblical view of suffering, showing how it is a part of belonging to God's family, how to cope with it, and how it benefits the believer. The second part of the book shows how God leads believers to rejoice in the present and future joys of the living church in fellowship with the resurrected Christ. Author Horatius Bonar was a well-known nineteenth-century minister called the prince of Scottish hymn-writers, and also a prolific writer of scriptural, practical, and experiential Christian literature.
