Excerpt from Gems of Heavenly Wisdom: From the Writings of Swedenborg The Gems of Heavenly Wisdom which the Lord, at His Second Coming, revealed through the instrumentality of His servant Emanuel Swedenborg, lie on every page of the Writings. While the daily and consecutive study of the Heavenly Doctrines in the pages of those Writings is to many a recurring and growing delight, such systematic reading is not possible, nor perhaps acceptable, to every member of the New Church. There are readers - as yet only on the border-land - who are unaware of the treasures within their reach, and of the variety of subjects elucidated through Swedenborg. Again, there are the young people of the Church, who are attracted by occasional selections dealing with subjects of special but transient interest to themselves. This little work is adapted for all these classes of readers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
