It is a great pity that this book is no longer in print. You will have to obtain it secondhand through Abebooks, Ebay or Amazon. It is available in paperback by this means. It is a basic book, setting in place the inspiration of the Bible and its place in the life of the Christian. Other elemental truths are stated as prerequisites for true biblical meditation. We should point out that this is the books subject, not simply meditation, but Biblical Meditation. Prayerful waiting on God in His scriptures is the authors whole thrust and the fruits that accrue from that discipline. He is short on advocating methodology and surely this is good. Instead, his writing engenders a love for God and His book. Campbell McAlpine clearly writes from deep experience of his subject and a great love for God, this is infectious. He discovers seventeen meanings in scripture for the word translated ‘meditation’ and offers detailed instructions about the meaning, practice and results of concentrating on God. This is a book for every one who claims to be a Christian. At the end of each chapter there is a paragraph designed to help the reader apply the truths presented. This book is ideal for personal or group study. The author investigates his subject in a simple, practical and inspirational way. For those who have never begun to read the Bible on their knees in their hearts before God, entering into its pages as a means of devotional conversation with Him will be introduced to that wonderful world of fellowship with God through His written word. For those more mature in the Lord who have walked with Him a while and have practiced what is advocated and taught by McAlpine, there will be added impetus granted and a great joy in having been led to discover the wonder of communion with God in His precious word.
