Timeless Relevance

The theme of this devotional book is "The Wonder of God's Love." His mysterious and sometimes hidden ways of interacting with us are discussed by the various contributing writers. Just to give you a taste of the richness in this excellent volume, consider some of these excerpts:"Every smile can be important, every word significant, every action helpful for someone. There is no wasted kindness in God's kingdom." Scott Walker"You, O God, are the Source of all wisdom and truth. How glad I am that You choose to share those treasures with us!" Mary Lou Carney"I continually see prayers being answered; sometimes exactly as asked, other times with a cleverness that only God can manage." Pam Kidd"God help me to remember how rich it make me when I give freely to others." Brock KiddAnd consider Fred Bauer's remembrance of Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, Guideposts' founder... "He was never too busy to pen a spirit-raising note to someone he felt needed a boost."This book is FULL of such encouraging wisdom. But it! Read it! Pass it on!

Timelessly Inspiring!

Any one of these annual devotional books can be used at any time of any year to spur you on to great thoughts and worthwhile accomplishments. The theme for 1999 was "He leadeth me."A few excerpts give a sampling of the delightful contents I'm describing:"In life, the destination will take care of itself if the journey is done well." Patricia Lorenz"She corrected her course and continued straight for the assignment he had given her. I hope for the same kind of faithfulness--never to be distracted but to head only for the goal given to me by my Master." John Sherrill"A 'God Find' is anything that lets you see God at work in your life." Roberta Messner"...when life hands you a hardship, you can focus on the awfulness or you can focus on God, Who allowed it. Either way, you'll come through it. Because we do, you know. But one way, you'll be imprinted with the hardship, the other, with God."Shari SmythThis book is full such practical wisdom. Over the years I've read the Guideposts writers so much I feel like we're friends althought I haven't met them in person yet.

Great book! Very Uplifting

I was impressed by this book. I love how it starts with a verse and then has a short uplifing story. I read the book on the train each morning and it puts me in a great frame of mind for the rest of the day! If you like Chicken Soup for the Soul, you will like this book.
