An absolute must read for every Christian!

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is by far my most favorite devotional of all time! As an avid Christian devotional reader as well as Author of a devotional myself, "Extraordinary Hope", I can appreciate the time in research to find all the interesting stories about incredible people. "My people perish for their lack of knowledge" as the scripture says and if we only knew the incredible history behind our faith, we would all be living extraordinary Christian lives bringing many into God's kingdom. I am forever grateful for Robert Morgan writing this book and gifting us with it. I will be gifting this book again and again.

Robert Morgan helps us put modern-day events in perspective by looking at key moments in church history

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2016

Verified Purchase

I truly believe George Santayana’s maxim about learning from history, so that we don’t have to repeat its painful lessons. “On This Day: 365 Amazing and Inspiring Stories about Saints, Martyrs and Heroes” by Robert Morgan not only helped me learn history, but see that history through a biblical lens.

Each day of the year Robert Morgan will introduce you to someone who played a key part in church history. Some of the names will be well-known to you, and some of them will be brand new; some of the stories will make you smile, and some will break your heart. But all of the stories reinforced two major themes for me—(1) All of history is God’s story, and (2) God uses ordinary people to accomplish His extraordinary purpose.

Each day’s entry is short enough that you can easily add it to your daily schedule. If you are a teacher or a parent, these stories would be a great way to talk about current events in light of what God has already done in past history. Either by yourself or with others, you will gain a greater appreciation for God and the gifts He gives to men and women.

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a great little book to add to your devotional life. I read it 2-5 times per week and sometimes go through several stories in one sitting.

Each day is an easy-to-read summary of the life of someone who gave their all for maker. They are 3-4 pages long. If anything, the stories are sometimes too short. Oftentimes I find myself going online to research the person, or their time in history, in a bit more detail. It's a small and simple reminder of the shoulders that we stand on and the many sacrifices that were selflessly made so we can enjoy the life we have been given.

The little book also helps me to see how small many of my struggles - at work, at home or wherever - truly are.

A reminder that following Jesus Christ is often costly and is always worth any price to be paid.

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2020

Verified Purchase

I chose this book for historical content and to see how and who has given there all for the sake of the Gospel.
It has certainly awakened greater appreciation for those who have stood up for Jesus no matter what the cost but also reminded me of the struggle the church has gone through to stay the course over the centuries. This book reminds us that we must not drop our guard and allow false teachers to pervert the Gospel, nor should we condone them today in order to avoid public condemnation in a world that propagates " as long as you believe something about "Jesus", or attend any church , or have religion that focuses on a god , with the idea we are all in the same boat!

FASCINATING SHORT STORIES FOR LEARNING AND SHARING

Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2011

Verified Purchase

Be assured, any book by this author will be a winner! This one can be read daily or at random. The short stories encompass the lives of 365 Christians over the past two thousand years. There are saints, martyrs, heroes - prepare to be amazed with every page.

Robert Morgan says in the preface: "Christian history provides humanity's most riveting storehouse of adventures. Its menagerie of characters, both saintly and eccentric is the most colorful host of men and women ever assembled on one stage."

I love the book, all of the stories, and especially the Bible verse at the end of each page. What research! What a great idea for the younger generation who need a "firm foundation" for our faith. An index is very helpful - this author thinks of everything! Those to whom I have gifted this book thank me over and over. Read the stories out loud - discuss them with friends - all ages, all faiths can appreciate an overview of how and why Christianity continues to be practiced all over the earth. 365 stories are not enough, of course.

I recommend this book with no reservations. Wake up and be surprised. Thanks for reading my review and thanks to Robert J. Morgan for all his inspiring books.

Interesting Stories

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2017

Verified Purchase

There is a one-page story of a significant person for each day of the year. The stories are interesting and varied; some are of famous people that I had heard of before and some stories are totally new to me. I have found it very interesting and encouraging. It is not meant to be a devotional, although there is a scripture with each page.

Some suggestions...

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

I like the content of this book and plan to use it in my daily devotions in 2017. However, I am not especially impressed with the packaging. The paper seems cheap and single spacing is not easy to read. I had hoped to share as a gift with a colleague, but the format is not conducive to gifting. Finally, the author's sources are not included in the book, which would be very helpful from a scholarship point of view and to provide opportunities for the reader to find out more about the daily topics. Perhaps sources could be included on a website?

One of my favorite devotionals of all time

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is one of my favorite devotionals of all times. Each day you get to hear about one of the great heroes of the Christian faith. Not only do you learn about their life but learn how you can apply it to your own life. Well worth your time to read the short daily devotional. It's probably one of the few devotionals that's worth reading more than one times. You will learn about some of the great men and women of the Christian faith. Some you will be familiar with and some not so familiar. However all of their lives impart a great learning opportunity. You will not be disappointed in this book. At the end of the year you will have learned a lot about living your faith.

A great bed-time read!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 1, 2020

Verified Purchase

Sad I know, but I genuinely look forward to getting into bed and reading that day's snippet from church history using this book. It's brilliant. Each day's page has a 3min read from history, and a verse or 2 at the bottom of the page. I wouldn't call it a devotional book, but more a very interesting book to have by your bed lamp. Enjoy!
