Every morning for nearly three hundred years, Moravian Christians have opened the same small book and read a single verse of Scripture chosen for that day. What began in 1731 as a watchword for a small community in Herrnhut, Germany, has grown into a worldwide devotional tradition that has guided missionaries, soldiers, and seekers across continents. This modern-English edition tells the story of the Daily Texts — how Count Zinzendorf and the renewed Moravian Church shaped a practice of daily Scripture reading that has never been interrupted — and opens the reader to the rhythm of the watchword itself. Faithful to the original's meaning and spirit, this edition renders the classic in clear, inviting language for today's reader. Part of The Founding Texts Library.
