Customer Reviews

Daily spiritual food for people with hurried life-style.
I found this little book by accident(or providence), and am so glad I did. I have purchased one as a gift, and will be giving copies to my family and friends as the year goes by. I love it that it is all scripture. I highly recomned this book.

marvelous, anointed, compilation of daily scripture readings
This lovely book of topical scripture is a wonderful way to begin and end the day in the Word. First appearing in the 1800's, it has been updated in this NKJ version for modern readers by Anne Graham Lotz. Its original compiler was a gentleman named Samuel Bagster. Each day's reading has two themes, one for morning and one for evening. The readings are short enough to be read through in a less than a minute, but inclusive of enough scripture to comfort, instruct, direct, and encourage. Scriptures are footnoted at the page bottom, leaving the eye free of distraction from the heart of the message. It is an excellent devotional, illustrating the richness of the pure Word of God, without the intrusion of human comment or thought.

An update of a classic
Anne Graham Lotz's introduction to this small book of daily (morning and evening) devotionals is heart-warming and keys on what made the original of this little book first published in 1794 so widely used --- each morning's and evening's readings are a group of related Bible verses -- nothing more and nothing less. No fluff. And no huge chunk of time is need to get through each short serving. Yet, each day's reading will speak to the heart and mind of the Christian, and provide encouragement, or helpful directions for the day and for life. The last 50 pages or so are more topical in nature, for different subjects such as depression, salvaton and stress -- for anytime throughout the year. This is the one devotional book that will last a lifetime -- it's pure Scripture -- no poems or contrived stories, just God's Word -- timeless. This book is on a par with Oswald Chambers' classic devotinal book "My Utmost for His Highest" but does not include the additional thoughts for meditation that he includes. Chambers' book is great too for a simple daily devotional. The original volume of Daily Light was in the King James Version and this new edition uses the New King James Version, which makes it highly readable. I'm going to give a lot of these books as Christmas gifts to the people that I love.
