Rating:  Summary: Daily challenge to a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ Review: This volume offers daily scripture and meditations on our relationship with Jesus Christ. In a short devotional format, Chambers brings us face to face with the person and work of Christ and the claim He has on the lives of those who have trusted Him. An absolute for those who desire much more than an MTV style relationship with God. Areas for personal notes allow you to record your own thoughts on the same page.
Rating:  Summary: The daily devotions are simply AWESOME,it's personal & real! Review: When I read the daily devotions I sometimes become so filled that I can hardly complete the entire devotion. Oswald, had a powerful annoiting and his interpretations makes me wonder how anyone, after reading the devotions, can not believe that Jesus is real and that he lives inside of every human being. The devotions are powerful and reading them along with the scriptures, makes me know even more, that Christ is The Way, The Truth and The Light. The devotions speak to the heart and encourage you to walk in the Light and apply the word to your everyday life in a practical way.
Rating:  Summary: Simple, Challenging --Simply Challenging Review: You'll read "deeper" books, but few as consistently challenging. Chambers speaks, in one-a-day bites, about the devotion a Christian must have to be obedient to God. These aren't "sound bites," but morsels of a very meaty meal. Catholics and Protestants both will find Chambers pointing the way to Heaven, and helping us know how to live out Christ's plan while still on Earth.A verse accompanies each day, and these ought be looked up to see the fully context. Have your Bible and a notepad next to you. Chambers is candid to say the Christian life is difficult, but encourages us that this difficulty should challenge us, not scare us away. Maybe Chambers might like the slogan "A few good men," except this time referring to future converts? For people who like the "Daily Bread" booklets, check "My Utmost" out. Like the DB series, each entry will take you just a few minutes to read, but plenty of time to ponder. Use this together as a discussion step with another person, your spouse or small group. Figure out why Chambers places the standard so high -- does Scripture agree? And once you figure out the answer for a given day's passage, now what? What is your response? I read an entry and realize I've got a long way to go, but feel glad I'm on the road.
