Customer Reviews

What a wonderful gift

I received this devotional from a very dear friend as a gift. I was blown away at the short concise devotions presented in this book. Do you ever have a book that seems to go along with your life, and what you are seeking the Lord for? Well this one did for me. These devotions were encouraging, and challenging all at the same time. The readings could be a great end or beginning to your day. They are light enough that you could read them before your bed time, but certainly strong enough for a good hearty portion as part of your morning devotion time.

Inspiring Devotions

Stanley has done it again in this inspiring devotional book for every day living. A great companion to this book for me was another meditation book, SOUL SATISFACTION, by Elizabeth Rankin Geitz. The two books together gave me both a male and female perspective on passages of scripture, enriching my understanding immeasurably. A great help in my every day life.

Devotions that are Powerful and to the Point

This book has wonderful devotions that say so much without a lot of words. They can be used in many different ways. There is a devotion for each day of the year with each month focusing on a particular theme. You can, of course, read the devotion that matches the particular date, or if you are dealing with issues, you can read a devotion pertaining to your particular issue. The key verse is included with most of them coming from the New King James Version. There is a scripture passage given that can be read from the Bible, but if you're short on time, you can just read the key verse and devotion. You can spend as little as 5-10 minutes and still receive a powerful message. It has helped me tremendously in my daily walk. I highly recommend it.

Enter His Gates is the perfect way to begin a day.

I highly recommend Enter His Gates, especially if you are seeking a better understanding of God and a closer walk with him. The book also helps to give insight into ourselves. The aspects of the book I enjoy most are: It's so clearly inspired and easy to understand. The messages are simple but powerful. There's a brief message and scripture for each day and also a perfectly devine short prayer to start each day with. It has enriched my life beyond my expectations!

More than just a daily devotional

This is a strong, foundational guide to daily life. Dr. Stanley explains the purpose of the gates as given in the Bible. This is to protect the creation of God, His children. We are God's people. This will instruct on how to live as a child of the King. The book may be read as a daily devotional or as a topical study. The topics include setting goals, communicating with God, trusting God's provision, the significance of the Cross in our life, spiritual warfare, the work of the Spirit, freedom in Christ and many more. Dr. Stanley writes from his heart. The material is all backed with scripture for sound doctrine. This is a very positive, uplifting book. Great to give as gifts.
