About the Author

<DIV>William Jay (1769-1853) had a long and fruitful career as a preacher of the Gospel by voice and pen. He pastured Argyl Chapel in Bath, a spa town in southwest England, from 1791 to the year of his death more than six decades. He was close to most of the evangelical leadership of the area. It is natural to see him as a link between the days of the orginal evangelical revival and England's nearest approach to second great awakening, the decade 1855-1865, that saw the first years of Spurgeon's amazing London-based ministry.</DIV>

The Author, William Jay, was an accomplished architect and preacher second only to Spurgeon. The old-style formal English in which he writes takes a bit getting used to but that is the only down side of this book. The author takes one verse per day from the Bible and writes about it. His commentary is very deep and very inspirational.
I would not recommend this book for new Christians but rather for those who are well read and looking for something to really sink their teeth into. William Jay is not only inspirational but he drives home important messages from Scripture that the reader may have overlooked in the past. I highly recommend this book!

I love this book. A friend let me rea his one time about a year ago and i really enjoyed it so bought my own. William Jay is the man. Every meditation is well thought out and a complete thought. He does a great job of bringing out the heart of a passage and making you think about it in ways that you havent even thought about before. I love this book. It is the first devotional i go to when i want to read something thought provoking.

This is one of the best daily devotionals I have read outside of John Mason's Sayings. William Jay's Evening Exercises provides daily reading that is spiritual and inspiring, also.
