A valuable guide to learn to walk with God

This book will guide you into a deeper relationship with God. It cannot be read lightly but needs to be pondered and meditated on with the scripture. It is written as a daily devotional, although it could be read as an ordinary book it needs to be digested slowly. It has been a wonderful experience in my life. It is in the same category as My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers.

A devotional book to be treasured

Each year I choose a devotional book to use in my morning devotions. This year I found a treasure, "Daily In His Presence", by Andrew Murray. Each day comes with a verse from scripture and comments from Mr. Murray around a different theme each month. You will find every day to be filled with richness and depth that seldom come from a devotional book. You will want to use it year after year, and give copies to family and friends. The book is edited by Bruce Wilkinson, who made Dr. Murray's writings easier to comprehend. You will know that truly you have been "Daily In His Presence".

Love this book

Delighted to find this book. It was in great shape and sent quickly. Thanks

great devotional

Andrew Murray compels us through this devotional to draw near to the heart of the Lord Jesus Christ. Encouraging, exhorting and challenging the believer to live our lives to the fullest as our expression of joy to our Lord. While acknowledging that only by faith through God's grace and power, waiting and relying on Him alone, shall we honor His desire for our lives on this earth.

An excellent book for devotion and study!

I have long searched for a daily devotional that could deliver both a lesson in Scripture and an encouraging, devotional thought for prayer and reflection. There are many, many devotional resources out there, and I've found that most suffer from (in my opinion) one of two drawbacks: (1) more focus on the author's thoughts than on Scripture itself, or (2) thoughts that seem random, even forced, and don't follow any particular pattern from day to day. Daily in His Presence stands apart from the crowd in both its arrangement and its content. Each chapter contains a month's worth of daily readings and devotionals that all relate to a specific topic...for example, prayer, worship, etc. Although each day's reading is drawn from a different part of the Bible, there's a continuity throughout the month. My only criticism is that each reading only identifies a very short passage, usually no more than a single verse. This is easily solved by simply reading the Bible chapter, or at least sub-section, surrounding the day's verse. Each day's reading will increase your knowledge of Scripture, and bring you face-to-face with aspects of your spiritual life that can use improvement. Andrew Murray writes from a true desire for a personal relationship with Christ, and his passion to share this way of life with his readers is evident. One of the truly great ministers and writers of the 19th centry, Murray's devotional thoughts (fueled by his desire for spiritual renewal and revival in the church) are just as relevant today as 100 years ago...and perhaps more so. I recommend this book HIGHLY!
