EncompassedRunner It's very likely that the typical reader of "Drawing Near" is someone who purposely chooses to have some structured set aside time and discipline for meditating on God's word, and so for that reason I recommend "The Heart of the Bible," also by MacArthur, because it consists of examining 52 key passages of scripture, which works out great for the disciplined Bible student seeking to work on scripture memorization, since there are 52 weeks in the year. This book also serves as a nice Christmas/New Year's gift.

I loved the idea of this devotional; the execution wasn't as good as I had hoped. The idea behind it was to do a devotional that wasn't just light, topical, 300-word pithy statements about loving God, but rather to use the format to dig deep into the text. One month's study would basically cover one section of Scripture, each day building on the last.
I like this much better than the typical attempt. So few devotionals seem to have any meat to them. They are only "Love God, trust Him, let's hear it for God!" Few have had any meaning in my walk. So I loved the idea.
The result was pretty good, but it felt like MacArthur still had difficulty getting much real meaning in 300 words. I still enjoyed it, and am looking forward to reading the show more next one, Strength for Today, this year. show less
