Daily with the King: A Devotional for Self-Discipleship

Pastor Evans was our interim minister for a short time. However, I did not learn of his many publications until after he left our congregation (he's a wonderfully, humble and sincere Christian). This is my favorite devotional. I have read through it many times. Each time something new is revealed through Glyn's interpretation with associated bible excerpts. I have given this book as a gift to several friends. They all have responded that the book seems to be speaking with them personally as they travel on the course to follow Christ.

Don't get this book if you want to feel comfortable about your Christian life! Dr. Evans makes you think, and examine yourself daily. But such in-course corrections are needed if we want to finish well.

This is one of the best devotionals I have ever read. Each day is a new "awakening" towards knowing GOD and daily living and putting the two together in harmony. Mr. Evans tells of life as we live it each day and adds a blessing. I highly recommed it. I am going to buy it for all my friends for Christmas.

Starting with the very first topic "Owning Nothing, Enjoying Everything," this book avoids the trite and anecdotal format that so many "daily devotional" books fall into, and gets right to the point, specifically, that the true battle of Armageddon is fought daily in the heart of man, and that the real pitfalls that face the believer are also found within.Though different in style, this rates among my two favorite devotional books, along with the classic MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST, by Oswald Chambers. This is not a book of "formulas" for spiritual success, but rather a highly insightful travel-log into the heart of a man who is struggling in faith to allow the kingdom of God to be realized in his inner being, and who isn't afraid to expose the very real difficulties he encounters, and his utter dependence upon God, to God, or to his fellow man. Anyone who makes the journey with him, will be blessed to have come along.

I have been using this book for more than fifteen years and have given it as a gift to at least twenty other persons. The daily devotionals are concise and extremely insightful. It is a book that ministers to the youngest adult believer, while challenging the more "mature" Christian. From more than one of the recipients I have heard, "he writes like he knows me and just how I think!"I highly recommend this delightful treasury of insights and challenges to continued growth in the Lord.
