TODAY GOD IS FIRST is my first of the morning vitamin to set my frame of mind for the challenges faced in the marketplace daily.

Os Hillman's capability to present the everyday personal trials we all face in the public arena in perspective of how God might handle them is truly unique. TGIF is the WWJD answer in book format.

The examples and situations he presents are so real and memorable that you will likely find yourself relating them to others. Or, better yet, buying copies to share because EVERYONE can relate and comfortably absorb the experiences he shares in this book.

TGIF really relates so much to everyday life, you will find yourself looking repeatedly for the nourishment this book gives for helping you put on "the full armour of God" to tackle what lies ahead of each and every day. This book blesses us to keep on going, pressing ahead to do God's will.

I have read the Marketplace Meditations electronic version from Os Hillman for several years. It is very normal that I beseech the Lord for some clarification or insight in my prayer time at 6:00am and arrive at the office at 8:00am to find Os has chosen scripture and a meditation that "fits". Os' ability to see current marketplace applicability to stories that are several thousand years old is a gift to all of us who are serving The Lord in our work.

Purchased this book recently as a gift for my friend. She has not stopping thanking God for inspiring the writer of each page of the book.

I have had my personal copy for six years and I still use it daily.

It is worth it.

God bless the writer and readers.

In TGIF: Today God Is First, Os Hillman provides a scripture and commentary for each day of the year. The 365 meditations on the principles of Christ in the workplace wonderfully focus the readers attention on how God's way is to employ ordinary men and women leading ordinary lives to achieve extraordinary things and personally experience how even adverse situations can be doors to spiritual opportunity. Highly recommended reading, Hillman's commentaries are not just simple homilies, they are enduring messages of principles and testimony of how God has worked experientially in his own life -- and can work in yours.

Os Hillman does a great job of hearing from God, and expressing it in a concise, meaningful way for those of us in the marketplace. Few today recognize the viability of ministry by those who are laboring in the secular workplace; Os brings practical experience and perspective to those of us who are. And, it rings with the heartfelt experience of someone who has been there, and understands the unique trials and challenges of today's Christian walk in the marketplace. Highly recommended!

I really enjoy this book. The first devotional that I have seen that is focused on the Workplace. The daily devotionals are a great way to start the day, especially if you don't have much time. They get to the point and always challenge me to live a more Godly life.

It is amazing how Os quickly gets to the heart of the matter again and again. Many times this daily meditation has spoken directly to me in a manner so very pertinent to what my situation at hand. I believe Os is our generation's own Oswald Chambers, only more down to earth and accessible. If you haven't yet browsed on these meditations you're in for a real treat.

This book offers wonderful, relevant insight to the Christian walk in the business world. Perfect length for a busy executive's daily devotion. Even my husband, who doesn't enjoy reading, reads this one! Praise the Lord!
