Wonderful, Deep Devotional Material in a Readable Format, Jan 13 2004

This review is from: Walking with God Day by Day: 365 Daily Devotional Selections (Hardcover)
Finding helps for our devotional time can be a challenge. Often, many of them merely offer a "Daily Crumb" rather then a satisfying meal of Scripture. This new collection of the late Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones writings, arranged into 365 daily readings, seeks to offer devotional material that engages the mind in addition to the heart. One feature I especially like in their arrangement is that each month has a theme, such as "New Life in the Spirit" (January) or "Knowing and Serving God" (August). I have enjoyed the continuity and thematic thinking that this enables the reader to do. One other feature that I enjoy is that each excerpt lists the book and page numbers from which it was taken, something that many collections like this fail to do. This enables a person who is interested in reading more on a given topic, to know where to find it!
All in all, editor Robert Backhouse has provided a great service in compiling these many words of wisdom, challenge, and devotion from Lloyd-Jones into a useful resource for believers today. Try it and see how it can help you 'glorify God and enjoy Him forever'.

Perfect for day-to-day reading, Jun 21 2006

Too many devotionals fall short when it comes to conviction and rebuke. Lloyd Jones doesn't pull any punches. Each day he challenges you to think differently and pushes you further up the hill of Christianity. It is strange saying D. Martyn Lloyd Jones is my favorite author since he didn't actually write any of these books. However, the fact that all his books come from his sermons or lectures show that his insight and wisdom are as timeless as C.S. Lewis or Jonathan Edwards. If you are looking for a daily devotional book that gives more than fluffy words of comfort then look no further. This is the book for you!
