5.0 out of 5 stars Abundant Gifts: A Daybook of Grace-Filled Devotions, May 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Abundant Gifts: A Daybook of Grace-Filled Devotions (Hardcover)

This book discusses the abundant gifts that God has in store for us each and every day. The author not only urges us to discover these gifts in our own lives, but also shows many examples in these devotions. By living in an expectant fashion, we discover and are amazed at what God does to personally affect our lives. I would recommend this book for all who believe in God. Busy people who would like to take the time for a short devotion will appreciate how quickly it reads -- but the message of each devotion will touch hearts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nuggets of wisdom that unwrap God's miraculous gifts, December 5, 2004

By 

Maria Veloso (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Abundant Gifts: A Daybook of Grace-Filled Devotions (Hardcover)

Rarely has a book roused in me so many profound revelations as has Diane Eble's "Abundant Gifts." The real-life stories contained in her book are exquisite nuggets of wisdom that unwrap God's miraculous gifts to anyone who's willing to open their eyes to find them. I can't even count the number of times I've read some of these stories aloud to friends who needed the right words spoken in due season.

As you turn the pages of her book, read the words slowly -- and savor the rich morsels as you would a meal so extraordinarily tasty you hope it never ends. There are 5 stories to be read each week -- one for every weekday -- but they're so irresistible you'll be tempted to read all the stories in one sitting. This book has changed my life so much that I've given it as a gift to more people than any other book I've encountered.

Diane Eble has such a wonderful way with words. Besides being beautifully designed (in either edition) this book overflows with well-written, touching and timely devotions. Abundant Gifts truly is a gift!
