One Hour with Jesus was a pamphlet essay, a beautiful, compassionate, truthful entreaty to believers to spend one hour each morning alone with the Lord, reading His word, praying to Him, praising and worshipping Him. Throughout her life and so pervasive in her writings, F.R.H. wanted and encouraged others to read and search the Bible themselves, not only to hear others speak about the Bible, but everyone personally himself or herself to read, probe, memorize, and know the Scriptures. She was herself a glowing example of this, one who loved the Author and thus loved His word and treasured it up in her heart. We know from her sister Maria that she memorized all of the New Testament except the Book of Acts, all of the Minor Prophets, Isaiah, and all of the Psalms. After One Hour with Jesus, the rest of this book gives helpful aids and encouraging examples of diligent study of the Bible. Our Lord said, in John 5:39, Search the scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life, and they are they which testify of me.
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself. Luke 24:27 Sanctify them through thy truth. Thy word is truth. John 17:17
