Thoughts for the Quiet Hour: A Daily Devotional

.I enjoy this book for two reasons: (1) It has a short verse (or a few short verses) of the Bible for each day of the year and a quote by a well-known (or not so well-known) Christian regarding that (those) verse(s). Some of the well-know Christians quoted are Martin Luther, C.H. Spurgeon, J. Hudson Taylor, Pascal, and D.L. Moody himself (he uses the word "selected" to signify his own quotes).(2) The book has an index of Scriptures quoted in the book, so it may use it to find quotes to use when teaching on a specific verse of the Bible. What this book lacks: The full names are not given for some of the Christians quoted. Mr. Moody assumes his readers know who they are. Also, there is no index of Christians quoted, so you may not easily search for the quotes by author. One of my favorite quotes of the book is this quote by Moody: "The preaching that this world needs most is the sermons in shoes that are walking with Jesus Christ."
