A thought-provoking daily devotional
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Daily devotionals come in many varieties -- from simple one paragraph reminders of the fundamentals of the Christian faith, to several pages of relatively in-depth bible study on a short passage. Stott's book falls into the latter category. With one page per day, it's not too much to read when time is short, but the thoughts recorded within are clear, concise, and well worth thinking about for the rest of the day. If you're having trouble spending time in God's word daily (as I was), then I definitely recommend this devotional. Start with just reading a page a day -- once this becomes a habit, you can breaking out your bible and reading the passage referenced as well as the devotional. Regardless though, reading a page from this devotional and spending time discussing it with God is an excellent way to draw nearer to Him.

I am only 2 weeks in to the book so far. I am enjoying it though. Along with that an my devotional I am enjoying getting up and having "my time". It is a fantastic way to learn the bible from front to back. It is interesting and keeps you wanting to read on.
Through the Bible, Through the Year
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
From the pen of John Stott, life-long New Testament scholar, Anglican pastor, and evangelical advocate for biblical training of pastor/teachers around the world, comes a very readable book for daily use. Dividing the year according to the Christian Calendar, the author guides the reader through an overview of the Bible, and concludes each page with personal reflection and application. Scripture references are provided for further reading. Superb!!!
