Moody Publishing recently sent me Daily Readings from the Life of Christ by John MacArthur. I have several of these types of books lying around the house in various places and to be honest, most sit and pick up dust. However, I have been reading in this one every day since it has arrived and I think it will be one that I won't let slide!

As the title suggests, this book focuses on the life of Christ and each day centers around a verse or two that He spoke. John MacArthur adds a few paragraphs of commentary and then leaves me with a few questions that I find myself mulling on for some time. This book makes a great stop for the busy mama that might only have a few minutes during the day, but wants to clear her head of the buzz of household noise and sit with Jesus for a moment. Each day takes me, literally 5-7 minutes to read, and while I don't want this to become a substitute for my morning time with the Lord, this has been a respite for me as I sit down for a break during the girls' rest time. A gentle reminder during my day that my goal is to ultimately be like Jesus.

This is an excellent daily devotional reading from John MacArthur. This is volume 2 of 3. This volume focuses on the life of Christ mainly from the Gospel of Matthew, but pays particular attention to the later portion of Christ's ministry.

MacArthur may spend several days on a particular passage of scripture. Each devotion ends with some thought provoking questions.

I highly recommend this series of daily devotionals to anyone looking to get a deeper look at the life of Christ.

Spirituality is not something that can be ignored and taken up randomly. "Daily Readings from the Life of Christ" is a day by day book that John MacArthur hopes that readers will take as a daily dose of faith. Offering scripture, commentary, and spiritual questions to readers, there is much inspiration to be had. For readers trying to bring more faith into their life, "Daily Readings from the Life of Christ" is a top pick.

This is an excellent continuation of John MacArthur's commentary on the gospels of John and Matthew. His in-depth writing is challenging and a great companion to bible reading. A great way to start the day.

The larger print and clearer format in this volume are an added bonus.
