If you are looking for wise and perceptive guidance to help you see and experience the deep impact of God’s words in Scripture, you will love this devotional. Each day’s reflection is a gem, focusing the light of the chosen Scripture text onto our thinking, our affections and our behaviour. I cannot imagine it being read without benefit!
In this rich resource, Alistair Begg provides what we’ve come to expect from him—solid biblical truth presented with clarity, winsomeness, and a focus on the person and work of Christ.
These devotions will help you praise when you are celebrating, will comfort you when you are struggling, will encourage you when you are doubting, and will be a balm when you are hurting. Each day, Alistair points to the glory and goodness of God as He reveals Himself to us in His word. Whoever you are, there is rich treasure for you in this book.
Alistair Begg has written a really encouraging, applicable devotional that has a simple main point and some verses to read. The Bible in a Year plan inclusion at the bottom of each page is also really helpful so that you can follow along with something extra if you would like. This new gift edition is stunning, with a lovely imitation leather cover and page marker which makes it a brilliant gift for a friend (or yourself!).
Love these books: they are insightful, loving, challenging, encouraging, inspiring, readable, just right length each morning to get the brain engaged with God and delving into the relevant passage.
'Truth for life' is a perfect title for this book. It is thoroughly grounded in scripture, with a short opening Bible text (2-3 verses) followed by Alistair's helpful and encouraging insights into how God's Word speaks truth into every aspect of our lives. There is then a longer passage of scripture to read following Alistair's devotional. I would encourage everyone to take the extra few minutes to read the longer passage because Alistair's commentary provides the context and application of the passage before you read it!
From the moment I opened this book, I knew God was taking me deeper in my walk. Alistair Begg is anointed in getting to the heart of each scripture. In his own inimitable way, he pulls out the truths of the word in each daily scripture bringing conviction, compassion, and challenge to the reader. This is my new favorite companion in my daily time in Bible study, communion with the Lord, and walking it out!
This isn't just a little watered-down devotional. It is packed with Scripture, truth and thought-provoking things. I can almost hear Begg as I read it. I have always been blessed by his teachings, and now this devotional is even more a blessing.
After using a Daily Bible and Prayer notes devotional over the past few years, I was on the lookout for something deeper, challenging and uncompromising. I found all these in Alistair Begg’s new book. Absolutely delighted with this and the swift delivery of said item. I cannot recommend both more highly.
A superb book that is inspirational and full of biblical wisdom. This has encouraged me to delve into scripture each day and what's more it's reusable!
I bought this book for my wife and she is really enjoying it 'a very good read'
Great book for daily reading. Great for encouraging at start of day. Also manages to challenge you for the day ahead.
Only drawback is the print is very small.
This well-thought out and gospel-centered devotional is full of wisdom and truth with every component of a devotional that you could ask for.
Each day is one page with Scripture at the top followed by devotions that are focused on God.
There are 3 icons at the bottom prompting 3 questions:
*How is God calling me to think differently?
*How is God reordering my hearts affections - what I love?
*What is God calling me to do as I go about my day today?
Beside these icons are Scripture references to dig deeper into God's word with that day's devotion. Many are about a chapter in length which is a great way to expand beyond the single page devotion.
At the very bottom of each page is a "Bible Through The Year" section that you can follow along with to also read the Bible in its entirety during the year while working through this devotional book.
At first glance, this may seem like a quick and easy read each day, which it could absolutely be if you have limited time. However, you could also use this book and spend a good 45 minutes or longer in God's Word if you read and consider all the different prompts and passages on each page. I appreciate this versatility to be able to adapt it to different schedules.
In my personal opinion, this devotional is going to be a classic for years to come along the lines of Spurgeon's Morning and Evening. It's definitely a book that can and will be read year after year.
And bonus - it includes a ribbon bookmark to keep track of where you are! This is a little detail, but one that I actually really appreciate.
The print is a bit on the small side, but the content is so great that I'm glad they crammed in everything that the could on each page.
