INTRODUCTION
In putting together The Daily Melvin, I have tried to distill and synthesize the
“tapestry” the Melvin Steinbron has woven and continues to weave. I have
done this by constructing 365 readings, each addressing a major topic, one for
every day for the year. Each reading starts with a topic and a Melvin Proverb
or Aspiration, or other quotes are essence of the topic.
These proverbs, aspirations, wise sayings, and quotes are mnemonic constructs that remind
one of the teachings on each topic. Then follows a teaching taken directly for
the works of Melvin Steinbron. Next comes the action step (“ACTION POINT,”Byeong prepared this part),
where you are asked to “act on” the teaching and apply it to yourself, your church and your organization.
After each reading, the original source or sources from which the reading was
excerpted are cited as reference. Unless indicated otherwise, the page
references provided in “Sources by Day” refer to the latest edition of each
book or booklet. The status of each reference is contained in the “Annotated
Bibliography,” at the end of the book. Most Melvin books, booklet, Manuals
referenced are in print, especially those referred to most often. If you wish to
go deeper into a specific topic, you may.
One word of advice: Look for “the future that has already happened.” If you
can identify and act upon trends that are just now emerging, you will carry
forward in practice the Melvin Tradition.
