I sit down while the house is quiet and read the daily verse and Max's thoughts. It helps me get my day off to a great start and to keep Christ in my mind and heart throughout the day.

There is a page for each day, with a short Bible verse, followed by an excerpt from one of Lucado's books that speaks on the same subject. Though these excerpts are not lengthy, they are simply and exquisitely written, and quite profound. Sometimes Lucado takes examples from his life, and sometimes from people of accomplishment like Leo Tolstoy, but mostly it is just good teaching, on getting a closer walk with Him, day by day.The design of the book is lovely, small but with 398 pages rather weighty; it has a preface and 3 marvelous pages on reasons for choosing "love, joy, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control". Each month starts with a sepia toned photograph of trees or leaves, which is subtly reproduced on the following pages of the month. The font size is not large, but very clear and easy to read. It is an aesthetically pleasing layout and this devotional makes a perfect gift for Christmas, to keep on one's desk or prayer corner, and to be cherished for years to come.

Mr. Lucado's comments seem to come at the right time. His insight is worth thr price. The way he takes scripture and puts it into words to which we can really relate are fantastic. I'd recommend as a gift for a friend, loved one or yourself. Great combination of excerpts from his many books. Got it last year for Christmas and have loved it.

For each day of the year there is an inspirational guidance and validation of God's love for us. This is what is so important to all of us and what will save us all--Love...for the Bible says God is Love and through Jesus he gave us all that opportunity to receive it. When I read his passage for the day it always brightens my day and my faith in his love for us. It is a refreshing book to read. Thank you Max. Enjoy!
