Last Christmas I gave a dozen copies of this book away to friends and family, and without exception each recipient thanked me profusely for the gift of transcendent yet realistic hope and encouragement they received. Whatever your faith, whatever trial or triumph you're experiencing, this book's daily entries can lift you into communion with God and hold you there.

I have used this devotional for about 5 years now, since it was given to me as a gift from a dear friend and mentor. It is full of wisdom and insight and truth that relates to our daily lives today, even though most of the excerpts were written centuries ago. Some days I find I need to read the passage through a few times to fully absorb the meaning of it; other days it hits home right away. I find it amazing that the things the many authors wrote so long ago are still so relevant and applicable to my life--but I shouldn't be surprised, since God's word is dynamic and relevant. I appreciate the list of authors and their dates of birth and death listed in the back with references to the pages of their writings.

This book is like an angel perched on your shoulder that whispers secrets when you most need them. It comforts, encourages and supports those on a spiritual journey seeking a closer walk with God. This book is Soul Food for the spiritual traveler.

This is my second copy of this inspiring devotional. I wore out my first copy. I like this book so much that I ordered two extra copies to give to my 22 year old daughter and my twin sister for their birthdays this summer.

My mom used this and she would always copy out passages relevant to events in my live. Now I use this classic devotional myself and just bought it for a friend.

The service was excellent and the book was in perfect condtion. The book itself is so "POWERFULL." Would recommend it to anyone. It is that good.
