The Granddaddy of 20th Century Devotional Books, Feb 19 2011
By Fr. Charles Erlandson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: My Utmost For His Highest Gift Edition (Imitation Leather)
My Utmost for His Highest is the granddaddy of 20th century devotional books. I remember seeing a copy of Oswald Chambers' book on my dad's bookshelf, and I was given a copy of book in 1979 by my Sunday school teacher and Bible study group leader when I was a senior in high school attending a Bible church. It would make a great gift for any Christian you know who is looking to spend more time with God in His Word every day.It is still a perennial favorite among Christian devotional books, and I think there are a number of reasons for this. First, Chambers wrote in a simple format: one verse from the Bible, followed by one page of devotional writing. This simple format makes My Utmost for His Highest very easy to use and to keep up with. The second reason this book continues to be a favorite is that Chambers writes simply, forcefully, and practically. There is also a directness and power in Chambers' words that touches his readers.
For these reasons, My Utmost for His Highest has become a classic. Anything that encourages people to read their Bibles, reflect on God's Word, and attempt to live by it is a very good thing. However, such devotional books are, ultimately, very limited. Scripture is meant to be read in its entire context, and not chopped up into single verses. Reading My Utmost for His Highest has benefited me, but as I've gotten older it always leaves me wanting something that goes more deeply and broadly into Scripture.
Having said all this, I'm truly thankful that Chambers doesn't sugarcoat the Christian life but clearly communicates that it is a difficult one. For the kind of simple, daily devotional that it is, My Utmost for His Highest will always remain a classic.

Amazingly Deep, Feb 15 2011

Oswald Chambers writes short yet deep daily devotionals that will inspire, challenge and cause the reader to reflect on ones life. God has used his writing to weed out that which has hindered me in being affective for the Kingdom and to focus on Who God is and what He can do through a life.

weird odor, Aug 15 2011

I bought two of these beautiful little books to give as gifts to friends. But when they arrived they had a terrible odor. I suspect it's the ink used for dye. The odor was very strong. I sprayed the covers of the book with Febreze, put fabric softener sheets between the pages - to no avail. Finally, I spread the books open and left them to air out over time. This seems to have helped somewhat after a couple of weeks. I'm hoping that the odor will finally dissipate so I'll be able to give these as gifts. I hope that the publisher will be able to correct this malodorous malady. I recommend that if you're planning to purchase one of these you have ample time to air it out before using it or giving it as a gift.
