Summary: Another great devotional compiled by Judith Couchman
Review: Judith's devotionals are so well put-together and a real blessing! First I read most of the Amy Carmichael one (called A Very Present Help), but I lost it before I finished it! (I had to order another one!)So I started this one. And I just love it. All the devotionals in this series are similarly arranged. Each day's section starts out a general statement that summarizes the topic, then there's Scripture, sometimes combining passages from 2 or more books of the Bible, on the same theme. Then there is a selection from a Corrie Ten Boom book. Then there are a couple of questions to think about and a prayer. These can be easily completed in 10 minutes, but sometimes I linger on them and reread them. I usually do one per day, but sometimes they are so good I just want to do another one. This book would be wonderful for any Christian desiring to grow in his or her walk with the Lord. It's also a good sampling of Corrie Ten Boom's writings. You'll probably want to get some of Corrie's books after reading this devotional. Her main story is told in The Hiding Place and Tramp for the Lord and then there are many other books that have short passages to read. I would recommend this book for someone who wants to jump-start their devotional life (or it would make a great gift!). The reading isn't difficult and Corrie's writing is easy to understand, but very profound and meaningful at the same time. I also recommend the movie "The Hiding Place". Please read my other reviews of Christian books!

Summary: Great devotional readings
Review: This book is a compliation of 40 daily devotional readings. Each devotional starts with a thought of the day, followed by a passage from the Bible pertaining to that topic for the day. There are also questions posed for you to think about, and a suggested prayer the reader could respond with. What I liked about this devotional reading is the insights from Corrie ten Boom. She draws examples of how the Bible can be relevant in our everyday lives by recounting her own life experiences. Much of which was from her experience as a survivor of Hitler's concentration camps and her subsequent journey around the world to tell of God's faithfulness. This book provides excerpts from her other books. It is great as a daily devotional guide. If you are interested in her story, however, I would highly recommend The Hiding Place and the sequel Tramp For the Lord.
