Customer Reviews

Nurturing of the soul

I had been introduced to the book about twenty years ago but finally ordered my own copy. It is the best source of solace for a cast-down soul.

Great for groups

I am an activities director at an assisted living and use this book for our daily devotionals. The devotionals are always uplifting and applicable to the lives of seniors (and everyone else!) and it inspires a 20 minute discussion each day. I have really seen God work through this book. Millie Stamm speaks the truth - Christ truly lives through us, if we choose Him.

C.B. Phillips

This is my favorite devotional book. It's as if your grandmother were writing her thoughts and sending them just to you. Millie shares her experience with God in a way that's encouraging, never harsh. But, she still manages to be direct and clear in her words. It's obvious that she has been through her own sorrows and grown in them and is willing to tell us what she knows. I met Millie once and she was just like her book. She was an unpretentious grandmotherly-looking lady who seemed very quiet. When you read her book, you'll find she's got a lot of strength hidden in that quietness. If you need comfort; if you want to learn more about God; if you want to know how people know God personally, this is a good book for you.

Be Still and Know

A completely scriptually based devotion with worthwhile everyday examples for application or examples from history. This is a year of devotions which will make your day brighter and focused on the things of everlasting value.

"Be Still and Know" is the best devotional book I have used.

Millie Stamm's "Be Still and Know" supplies 366 of the most thought-filled, prayer-filled, and I found, God-filled devotionals I have ever used. She chose scripture that seems particularly suited for anyone whose life is not proceeding exactly as planned. Her commentary illuminates through well chosen and well written stories. By the end of the year I had so many pages marked with scraps of paper that the book had nearly doubled in size. I shared many of the devotionals with friends and family and with my pastor who found inspiration for sermons in them. It is an excellent devotional book.
