Summary "Joy in Service; Forgetting, and Pressing Onward; Until the Day Dawn" by Purves is a theological work written in the early 20th century that reflects on the nature of service to God and the spiritual life. It emphasizes the concept of finding joy in serving others and adhering to divine will, while also encouraging readers to let go of past burdens and press toward future aspirations in faith. The book is divided into three primary sections that explore themes of joy in service, the necessity of forgetting past grievances and focusing on the future, and the hope brought by faith in eternal truths. Purves draws upon biblical passages to articulate the significance of recognizing one’s spiritual mission, with an underlying message that through love and obedience to God, individuals can achieve fulfillment and strength. He illustrates these concepts using the example of Jesus Christ, whose life and commitment to serving others provide a model for readers. Additionally, the text reinforces the importance of looking forward and not allowing past failures or successes to hinder one's progress on their spiritual journey.
