I was very excited to review this book. John MacArthur is a favorite teacher of mine because he always teaches the Bible literally and is a pastor/teacher that can be trusted to give us the truth. This book did not disappoint.
This is a devotional that takes passages from different John MacArthur books and at the end of the daily devotional, it asks you a question to ponder in your own life. The thing about this book that I like is it's not some sweet, simple devotional (not that there's anything wrong with those type of devotionals). It's a meat and potatoes devotional that makes you think. Many of the devotionals required me to re-read them several times to really get the truths out of them. They are truths that are applicable to our lives and make you really think. I really liked that. It forced me to really get into the Scripture he was referring to and dig deep.
This devotional is going to be something I use every day. I think you can go through this year after year and still be pulling truths from it. I can't say enough good about this devotional and I highly recommend it.
