Great Dealer

I appreciated the speedy trasaction, very little waiting for the item to come. It was in great condition. Thanks

Excellent, uplifting, well organized

I regularly use this inspiration, preferring it over all of the others that I own. I like Rick's use of various translations of the Bible. I've ready other reader's comments about the KJV being the correct version which of course is nonsense since the various translations use the same original (Hebrew and Aramaic) texts, so to say that one is somehow more "correct" than the other is simply not accurate. Mr. Warren has captured the essence of what it means to be a Christian and more importantly, how we can apply the Bible in our daily lives. If you haven't read the text that this book is based on, I highly recommend that you pick up "The Purpose Driven Life". This book along with the companion Daily Inspiration provides new context and meaning to all of the books of the Bible and Mr. Warren seems to have the unique abilty to convey how much God loves us, how much he wants to have a personal relationship with us and how much he wants to give us.

Perfect Gift

Someone gave this little book to me on my birthday in December. It's got brief, inspiring segments, perfect to leave in the WC. I love it so much, I bought several to have on hand as gifts. I have given one away so far to a friend for her birthday. This friend (a not-yet-believer) was very grateful and told me that she had memorized one of the verses. She is giving a copy to her sister. The beat goes on.

All the scriptures from the book in one place

This is such a handy book to use along with The Purpose Driven Life because it pretty much focuses on the scriptures (and there are plenty of them) from all the different translations that the author uses. So you don't have to keep flipping to the back of the book to see where the scriptures came from - just use this paperback along with the regular book. Works great!

Whenever a new Christian hoola hoop fad comes along, it sparks offshoots. While in many cases,the permutations these sub hoops take is mostly an exercise in capitalism, in this case, the off shoot is the equal of or perhaps superior to the prime in usefulness. The daily devotional consists of soundbite key concepts of the Purpose driven life backed up by relevant scriptures to the thought. Notably, the version of the Bible from one to another varies. This allows one to compare say the NIV to the NLV or Message, etc. For those crunched for time or who don't care to read, this book is an easy way to get the benefit of the full book. It is also handy to carry for a quick scripture fix.
