The Best Devotional I've Ever Read

I've read a few very popular devotionals by excellent teachers. However, this one tops them all by far. The reason is that this one is exceptionally encouraging...and I'm mean every single passage. In fact, I can't even pick a favorite as each day I am encouraged so much by each of the writings. Pastor MacArthur is very gifted spiritually. I think this is because he uses his God-given gifts until they overflow. Through his ministry, Grace to You, as well as the MacArthur Study Bible, God's grace and wisdom is being shared more than abundantly.

Best Devotional Today!

If you really want to grow spiritually, it involves daily exposure to God's Word. This devotional will help you accomplish this day by day. There are many devotionals that have wonderful stories that tie into a scripture verse, and it is quickly read, with very little time with God, and out to work we go, with very little spiritual nourishment. This work by John MacArthur will provide you a healthy feeding every day. He is committed to an indepth approach to bible exposition. And this book does just that, drawing from the main passages he has taught over the years. At the conclusion of the year, you will have gained a firm grasp of many of the great texts of the Bible. So while you are studying verse by verse through a passage, you'll find that each day stands on its own and makes direct application to your life. A very close friend asked me for advice, he said "I was wondering if you knew of a good devotional book that would get me to think and cause me to interact with the book and the bible. In the past I have read devotionals for 5 minutes said great and off I went feeling that I got nothing out of it and was only giving God a song and dance show. Let me know if you have any suggestions." My advice to him was easy and without hesitation, Purchase Drawing Near by John MacArthur. You will grow closer to your Lord, and be fed with a healthy feeding on a daily basis. It will be one of the greatest years' in your life! Buy it today!

Great Devotional

Excellent devotional to help you grow closer to the Lord. Breaks down verses with sometimes more than one explanation. We recommend to anyone who wants to walk closer with God.

BEST DEVOTIONAL I HAVE EVERY READ!

THE REASON WHY I THINK IT IS THE BEST DEVOTIONAL I HAVE EVER READ IS: EACH MONTH THE AUTHOR TAKES A SCRIPTURAL SUBJECT AND TEACHES YOU IN DEPTH. HE ALSO MAKES IT INTERESTING AND THOUGHT PROVOKING. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO HAVE A CLOSER WALK WITH GOD. EVEN READING IT YEAR AFTER YEAR IT SEEMS YOU LEARN MORE.

It made so much sense!!

I bought this book just before the start of a very difficult time in my life. I am sure that it was God's gift to me to keep me focused on how He wanted me to respond to the problems that were about me. The Devotions were appropriate and relevant to the problems and decisions we all face in todays world. Praise God that He is the same yesterday, today and forever!!! I would recommend this book to anyone, who needs the wonderful and precious comfort God gives when we draw near to Him.
