5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL DAILY DEVOTIONAL RESOURCE, August 13, 2008

This review is from: To Live with Christ: Devotions by Bo Giertz (Hardcover)

If you haven't read Giertz's "Hammer of God," do so now. Also, if you're seeking a daily devotional that is Christ centered, cross focused, buy this one also.

It is currently my daily devotional and I'm getting much out of it. Giertz is very much a joy to the Christian faithful, because he stresses so much the certainty we have in Christ! And he accomplishes this by contended fervently for the faith handed down to the saints without being contentious.

Each day is linked to the historic Church Year, with a Scripture reading, commentary and concluding prayer. Prime soul food! Bon Appetit!

This review is from: To Live with Christ: Devotions by Bo Giertz (Hardcover)

Over the last several years, I've used a variety of devotional books, some shorter ones, some year-long ones like "To Live With Christ." Many of them have been excellent, but I think that this work by Bo Giertz surpasses them all. I have been using it for two or three months now, and have consistently been impressed by the content and the applicability of his writing. It is very Christ-centered, filled with rich Lutheran theology. The prayers are beautifully written and often the highlight of the devotions. I also like the fact that many of the readings are continuous through several days, so you get to study several chapters of a particular book of the Bible in a sequence.

Bo Giertz' down-to-earth writing is a pleasure, and thanks to the translators for bringing this fine work into English! This devotional will undoubtedly remain a classic to be read and re-read through the years. I would enthusiastically recommend it to Christians of any level of Biblical knowledge; you will be enriched by it.

This review is from: To Live with Christ: Devotions by Bo Giertz (Hardcover)

Devotional books have never been my cup of tea. I have tended to view them as ready made meditations that provide a shortcut to the Lord. At least that has been my excuse! Lancelot Andrewes among others showed me the error and arrogance of that view. Having read and loved Hammer of God, when I learned of this volume from Bo Giertz I couldn't help but buy it. I have been using this devotional on and off for several months and have found myself using it ever more frequently. Giertz has a clear but penetrating understanding of the Scriptures that draws you back. He is a wonderful teacher and writer and one can only hope that more of his writings become available in English.
