this gift if like giving the gift of God to every day! It is easy to read and understand.

Wonderful,inspirational and uplifting daily devotions written by people who feel like family after many years of friendships.

This is a yearly gift for my mother every Christmas. My mother and brother, who is still in high school, read from it every morning to start their day right. It is always a hit with Christians that are looking for a daily devotional, and it doesn't have the day of the week just the date so she frequently will give hers to others after she is done with it.

Ignore the date, this book is useful regardless of the year it came out. Editor Andrew Attaway put together an excellent product in the Guideposts tradition. "The Gifts We Are Given" is the theme for the 2010 edition. Long-time followers of Guideposts will particularly want this edition as it contains the last devotionals written by the book's first editor, Fred Bauer.

A few excerpts capture the wisdom found throughout the book:

"As long as I'm alive, I can improve or I can backslide."--Daniel Schantz (p. 188).

"Lord, thank You for showing me that with You, 'it' isn't always what it appears to be."--Carol Kuykendall (p. 214).

"I'm embracing the awesome adventures God has planned for the rest of my life."--Penney Schwab (p. 220).

As is the case every year, my copy is well marked. This timeless volume is a book you will want to have on hand to refer to in the years ahead.

Daily Guideposts 2011 is a beautiful book, inside and out. Each day's page has an inspiring true anecdote with Scripture quotes, prayers for every day of 2011. The theme of this book is Growing with Love and each day is a devotion written by 50+ different authors. It is a guide for the reader to learn to grow spiritually. This book is a celebration of the 35th year anniversary of Guideposts and is a beautifully written book with a gorgeous cover. The devotions tell us in what ways God is in all of our lives and it only takes 5 minutes a day to enjoy this book of devotions. This would make a great Christmas gift to anyone on your gift list.

I have gotten into the habit of reading one of th stories found in this book each night before I go to bed - I love it. It sets my heart for going to sleep and sets my day when I get up. (When I forget - I can really tell a difference in how my day goes.) I love the Bible passages, the stories that follow, and the prayer at the end. So, many times it speaks to me so strongly. It is fun the read about the author of each story in the back where there is a photo and bio on each. You get to know them after a while. A lovely book to give to yourself or another person. A wonderful reminder of who is in charge and the joy it can bring. Faith is such a good thing. God sure knew what he was doing to give us each other and this book! (I bend the corner of the pages that really, really speak to me and I never do that to a book . . . ) I am looking forward to Daily Guideposts 2011, but I could easily read this over again. (A special thank you to all of the authors - good job!)

The Daily Guide Post could not have a better title. I have read devotionals for several years now and all of them seem to be the right one for where my life journey was at the time. This is so special because it shares real life stories and how people translate the word in to every day issues from just finding peace, dealing with conflict, appreciating gifts, facing difficulties. In a year where we have experienced several passings of family members, graduations, weddings and births this 360 degrees of life based on the word but spoken through everyday context is priceless.

I purchased this book as a gift for friends who greatly appreciated it. I have my own paper back version in the large print which I read daily for inspiration.

The book arrived in a very timely manner, and in great condition. Thank you for your service.

I have been reading Guideposts for approximately 5 years and as always I am blessed by the daily messages.
