One option for participating in
these Daily Devotions on your own schedule independent of Internet
access is to install them on your computer. You need the file
dailyolb.zip. This link allow you to install
the same files that we use for our Daily Devotions website and for the
Yahoo Daily Devotions email group.
This is a zipped file. You will need a
program that will "unzip" or extract these files. If you don't have such
a program, the program I use is WinZip. You can download a free 45-day
trial if you wish. (This isn't freeware or shareware it is an
opportunity to try WinZip with the intent of purchasing it if you like
it.)
Note: Using the authentic WinZip site
http://www.winzip.com/downwz.htm assures you of a safe download.
Once you have installed WinZip, the files will be extracted to a new
folder called Unzipped which you will find in your My Documents folder.
(If you are using another program to unzip the files they may be opened
to a different folder.)
When you open the folder you will see a list of file names beginning
with " T " and a series of numbers. Each of these files holds a morning
or evening devotion which required special coding to fit the format we
desired. You may choose to read them in the raw format using WordPad or
Microsoft Word or format them according to your personal preference. (If
you don't know how to do this, please obtain your own assistance.)
These devotions were first published by the American Tract Society in
1875 from materials prepared for family devotions by Jonathan Bagster ()
and later compiled for publication by the Bagster family. This material
is public domain with no rights reserved and may be distributed in any
format without cost or obligation. However, if you choose to distribute
these devotions or use them for other than your own personal use,
although they are public domain it is appropriate to credit the Bagster
family for their work in compiling and publishing these devotions which
have been such a blessing to Christians around the world for well over
100 years.
