One of the best...

This is a book that will speak to your current situation or need. Sometimes when we are struggling, it is hard to just go and crack open the Bible. It feels overwhelming. We don't know where to start. This is excellent! You look up a subject that closest describes how you are feeling and it gives you a great place to start. Sometimes more than one will be relevant to what we are going through. There are many of these types of books but none that has ever really spoken to me the way this one does. I hope that she comes out with another! Another great devotional by Kay is, "I Give You This Day". Both would make great gifts! I don't usually like these types of books (devotional)...so this is really saying something! Every day I open it whatever she is speaking on seems to be just for me that day. I got one for a friend and she says the same thing. It is amazing!

For those "tuff" times

Having a hard time? Seeking some comfort and strength through literature? If yes, then buy this book today. I purchased it years ago when I was down in the dumps and it helped to lift my spirits. I have purchased copies for a number of friends and know that I will be buying this book as gifts forever. Everyone I have blessed with this book have benefited from it. It speaks to your heart in an easy and direct manner as if you are in conversation with a friend who tells it to you straight. I love this book and I think you will also.

A real solace in time of need

"Speak to My heart, God" is a devotional, although not in the conventional sense of having dates on top, and a reading for every day of the year. Instead, there are just slightly more than 60 individual readings. While one of my favourite devotionals is "Morning and Evening" by Spurgeon, this book by Kay Arthur is a balm for the troubled soul. What stands out is that almost all 60 readings are directed at the downcast, troubled, anxious, fearful soul. Have you ever walked through the valley? I am currently battling fear and anxiety, and it is clear to me that these emotions don't simply go away by a quick prayer. Sometimes, we have to daily battle them, with the armour of God, and the sword of the spirit, praying continuously. This book by Kay Arthur, which is divided into "Words of Faith", "Words of Obedience", "Words of Trust", "Words of Grace" is particularly directed at the disquiet in our souls when all is not well. Since as Christians, we don't have mountaintop experiences all the time, it is a handy companion and truly a soothing balm in time of need.

Instructive

Bible teacher Kay Arthur writes, "Meekness is accepting everything as coming from God without murmuring, disputing, or retaliating..." It is with that attitude that one humbles himself before God. God's very presence releases tension. When we walk in His ways, as contrasted with our own, we replace the negative with the positive, i.e., frustration, confusion, distortion, despair, and destruction are eliminated from our thoughts. In His presence we learn His ways.The times and seasons of our lives are in His hands. She tells us to approach God with the spirit of "whatever you want is what I want." God opens and closes doors as is appropriate. Reading this book helps you to gain a perspective on truth. It helps you to see beyond the temporary to the more ever-lasting meaning of circumstances. It will encourage you if you read it.
