A very inspirational Devotional!

A very inspirational Devotional!
It is full of practical life experiences, well written and well realized. Hope the examples could be updated and the living editor should make them speak to current post-modern generation.
Also, it apparently got frozen in the sad life bitter experiences of the lady writer. Should be toned up to be more cheerful.
It has been my devotional for about ten years now.n

So uplifting!!

Words are inadequate to express the effect of this book on my soul. Steeped in Scripture and Christian maturity, the beautiful devotions and poetry remind me to always see God in and through every circumstance no matter how difficult or painful. Somehow hearing it was more impactful than reading it. I just wish that Volume 2 had been recorded, too.

If ever there was a book for spiritual encourageme

This 365 day devotional is one of the best, most heartfelt, and exquisitely written I have ever had the pleasure to follow. This selection delivers sincere words of encouragement in a truthful valiant fashion. You will be stirred to the core, wounds balmed. Highly recommend for your permanent collection.

Daily Devotion Speaks Right to your heart

This is an all time classic and a great treasure of learning about God’s care and mercy in the form of a everyday devotion speaks to you and what you need to hear with the situation you are going through

Gave it a try for a few months after receiving a recommendation and didn't like it

Poetic. Just okay. Very few gold nuggets! Each day does not feel like one complete thought. Not a devo (which is what my friend suggested it was)

Some days totally have a valid point in many cases, but can also place unrealistic expectations on the listener since not all physical or emotional ailments can be cured with trust or hope. (ie: cancer)

The VO artist clearly recorded a section of spots while she was sick (I'm an actress and you can hear it- it distracts the listener from the message and is just annoying!) Overall, her tone doesn't provide clear communication, but rather a rhythmic trance.
