I have read this book before and really enjoyed it and normally would give it a 5 star rating but have given it only 2 because it is almost unreadable due to the font size. Recently I bought 8 copies of this particular edition to share with my bible study group at a quite considerable cost. They have just come and I was greatly disappointed when I opened a copy and discovered that the print was miniscule. No one wants them because they can't read them easily. I will have to try and find some used books of a different edition to use with our study group. If you want this book I would highly recommend it but look for a different edition.

Along with the day's chapter from Proverbs (i.e. November 3rd, read Proverbs Chapter 3) each day I read the day's selection form Oswald Chambers MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST, and I have been doing so for around forty years now. His simple yet profound direction to keep one's eyes on God and His plans have shaped how my worldview and life. I have checked out other devotionals in the past, some are good, most are trite rubbish, but none better this classic, and I have found none that match it for continual life-changing use along with a devotional life of prayer, Bible study, praise and worship.

The content of this book is amazing, but I clearly failed to read the reviews before ordering. Or I clicked on the wrong edition...? The print of this book is unbelievably small. I would guess the font size to be SIX - about like your average footnote. Definitely buy this book; but in a different edition.
