5.0 out of 5 stars An Outstanding Tool for Developing a Heart for God, November 14, 2007

The Closer Walk Devotional is an outstanding tool for growing closer to God and increasing your knowledge of His word. The 365 daily devotions are well organized and short enough to be completed in about 15 minutes. Each day you are drawn to worship with a short meditation passage before you read the text for the day. The daily reading then highlights a key verse followed by a inspirational reading from a faithful Christian teacher or leader of the past. The reader is then challenged to deepen his or her relationship with God through obedience and personal worship. Besides the daily readings there are introductions to books or sections of books and short biographies of some of the Christian leaders whose writings are used to teach and inspire us as we read. I can't think of a better resource to purchase for the new year or a better way to begin your daily walk with God.

Reading through the New Testament in one year is a real pleasure with this devotional book. Each day has a reasonable amount to read, and the application is relevant to my life. I love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Devotional, January 1, 2008

This review is from: Closer Walk (Paperback)

After using this devotional for two days, I'm starting to enjoy every bit of it. When I first saw it at SKS (Singapore), what made this devotional a must buy for me was the fact that it not only walks me through the New Testament, there is also a short portion by some famous writer who will help you walk through the selected portion taken from an entire chapter that is being highlighted for the day's focus. Then the section 'Walk Closer to God' and 'Worship from the Heart' help you to center what has been shared thus far and leads you into a time of reflection. After that, you are led to read that entire chapter where the verse for the day was taken from. This helps you to read through the entire New Testament in the year. Something I find a wonderful resource for the uninspired and unmotivated. And to further sweeten your experience, there is also a verse from the Old Testament so that you would not miss out on reading the Old Testament which is equally as important as the New Testament. I heard people commenting that there are people who prefer to read the New Testament as opposed to the Old Testament because it is easier to read through it and more digestible. As opposed to reading through the entire Bible, people prefer to just read through the New Testament but I am indeed glad that this devotional offers not just a journey through the entire New Testament but also a chance to savour portions of Scripture from the Old Testament.

I would recommend this devotional to people who have not read through the Bible at all. Reading through the entire Bible in a year can be very challenging and demanding. So why not, for a start, make it a point to read through at least the New Testament and then progress from there into the Old Testament. This is just the right resource for those who desire to do this in the coming year. As opposed to using a one year Bible, I would prefer to use such a resouce because it isn't as dry to read through the Bible book by book and chapter by chapter with a focus point for each day and reflection for the day. If you use a one year Bible, you are merely reading through the entire Bible and it is difficult to have learning points, reflections for the day unless you deliberately seek out particular verses but this devotional is good in that it does that for you.
