I've never known anyone else who can put such depth and meaning into 300 words every day like Chambers does in this book. He doesn't just deliver a warm mushy feeling like so many devotionals, but convinces you that Jesus is someone to be trusted, obeyed, and sought with all your heart. A wonderful, year-long journey that I recommend to pretty much anyone. (  )nesum | Jan 5, 2009 |   One of the most famous devotional books in the world-several millions in print fumc-cdale | Nov 16, 2008 | Daily readings gathered and edited by Oswald Chamber's wife from lectures and sermonettes he gave to students at the Bible Training College in Clapham, England and to soldiers stationed in Egypt during WWI. A man of unusual spiritual depth, each entry in this book speaks of a man who has gained his knowledge through the difficult door of renunciation to self. One pearl from Chambers, "If I am devoted to the cause of humanity only, I will soon be exhausted and come to the place where my love will falter; but if I love Jesus Christ personally and passionately, I can serve humanity though men treat me as a door-mat."

Amazon.com (ISBN 078526101X, Hardcover)Oswald Chambers, a Scotsman who converted to Christianity in his teens under the ministry of Charles Spurgeon, has been affecting Christians with his devotional words since My Utmost for His Highest was first published in 1935. This acknowledged classic contains 365 daily readings that take heady doctrine and make it practical, realistic, and intensely personal. With humor and humility, Chambers speaks plainly to the common man struggling with devotion to Christ in daily living. Worldly cares and self-serving desires begin to lose their appeal as Chambers aides the reader in transforming his mind by viewing life through the instruction of God's Word. Richard Halverson, former chaplain of the United States Senate, attests to this: "no book except the Bible has influenced my walk with Christ at such deep maturing levels." This is Chambers's chief desire, directing the reader to "shut out every other consideration and keep yourself before God for this one thing only--My Utmost for His Highest... determined to be absolutely and entirely for Him and for Him alone." --Jill Heatherly(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:01 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
