Working in ministry myself, I have stacks of devotional materials that don't keep my interest. They don't have any fresh, interesting or inspiring moments while reading, rather use the same passages and parables. That's not the case with Tony Evans' book. I ordered it about a year ago in hopes to find a challenging devotional book that would deal with tough questions, as well as be a daily read for me.
I've used this book many times when meeting with collegues, and each time someone asks for the title & author to order it themselves. The format is basic and non-threatening for new believers, as well as educational for life-long Christians...I can't recommend it enough. His "Thoughts for the day" are great to reflect upon. Buy the book if you're wanting a daily lesson or reminder of where, why and how God is love.

For years and years I have been told quiet times with God are absolutely essential to walking with Christ. I could never get into a pattern of doing this. This book is the difference. Dr Evans has a year of growing a walk laid out so well, that now it is my routine. He has a beautiful way of zinging you so that you really reflect all day. A fabulous devotion book. I wish more were this plain spoken

This book will keep you focused. It only takes a few minutes a day, and the message is powerful! Tony Evans has you read a passage from the bible, then he explains the lesson it contains. Each day one page, and is based on a 5-day week, with a page of 'reflection' for the weekend. He uses today's language and is very easy to understand. I highly recommend it for anyone who is trying to digest the true word of Jesus.

Dr. Evans doesn't play around in these devotionals. He takes God very serious and so should we. This book is very time friendly without trivializing your time with God.

This book consists of in-depth devotions for each day of the week. It's a little different then most daily devotions because it forces the reader to take a deep look at the meaning of the scripture being reviewed for that day. There is a devotion for each day on Mon-Fri and then there is a review of the week's devotions/scriptures on Sat-Sun.

If you are wanting to gain a more intimate understanding of God's Word..this book is for you.

Tony Evans has successfully condensed his biblical lessons into short, easy to read, devotions and bible study aide. During a 30 minute quiet time period, you can still easily have 20 minutes for prayer after reading Tony's lesson and the scriptutre for the day

This book takes you day by day into the Word of God and provides you with the seriousness of maintaining and growing in your faith - and provides an application for living each day to honor God.

I've had 'Time To Get Serious' in my personal bible study rotation for over 10 years now. I am a pastor with several devotion books in my library. This one remains one of the best I have ever seen because of its simplicity, layout, spiritual depth and emphasis on application. I still use the 12th month every December to prepare my heart for Christmas. The month on 'Faith' inspired a sermon series that I wrote a couple of years ago. The month on marriage is solid. It's the first devotional that I recommend to church members asking me for something to freshen up their quiet times. Awesome job, Tony!

this is a blessing for me in the morning. I read it each day and it makes my day better. I love it. one of Tony evans best books. He is a grteat teacher and his teaching is so detailed.

thank you and may God bless and keep you!

This Daily Devotional is totally different from any of the others I've read so far. I'm not finished with it yet, but it's more of a Devotional & Bible study in one! You HAVE to read the Bible verse 1st (he doesn't quote it for you) then read the story he has written about it. I was left with 1 question so far.....Under the "Are we Worshipping yet?" He says about people who only go to Church and don't spend any quiet time with Him, but what about those who spend daily quiet time with Him,but don't regularly go to Church? Are they BOTH equally important?
