5.0 out of 5 stars Continued revelation, continued inspiration...., December 3, 2004

This review is from: A Day's Journey: 365 Daily Meditations from the Word (Paperback)

This is by far, the best devotional I have ever read.... I've grown so much this year from these readings which "happen" to be so timely... Jon has a gift for getting down to the nitty gritty to the A of the OIA (observation, interpretation, application) that most often is missing in many commentatries.... This book goes through the new testament in order in a year... He pulls out the gold nuggets and the readings are so awesome and so INSPIRED that I read them twice! Cost/Value is unbelievable for what you're getting. A private tutor to mentor you for a year, or as many times you want to read this book. Listen, this is coming from someone who does not enjoy reading and really has a somewhat negative view of the concept of devotionals just to qualify this review. The only other devotional comprable is A TABLE IN THE WILDERNESS by Watchman Nee... I read that two years in a row. I've read MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST and others, and I'm telling you that there will be no buyers remorse on this one. In fact, I'm giving it away as Christmas presents this year. Hope this helps, bridget

What I love about Jon Courson is that he's just so down to earth and uses such great analogies that I truly "get" what it is he's trying to convey. He simplifies things. This devotional is packed with powerful yet brief messages for the new believer or the well seasoned.

It's also the perfect gift for those who believe, but perhaps aren't really walking with the Lord as it's not "preachy"...and yet it has messages of truth.

This review is from: A Day's Journey: 365 Daily Meditations from the Word (Paperback)

I have enjoyed reading A Days Journey during my devotional times with God over the last three years. Jon Courson has a wonderful way of applying God's Word to day to day life. Everything within the book is simply--but boldly--stated. It brings scripture to life and relays important messages from the Bible.

The devotions are arranged in order of scripture from Matthew to Revelation. It is a great companion tool for Bible studies, offering fresh insight into the scriptures. I recommend A Day's Journey to anyone seeking to apply God's principles, promises, and statutes to his or her life.
