Great size for a favorite book!
21 Jan 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
I stumbled upon the original version of this book, perhaps 10 years ago. The devotions are written in a form as God speaking to you, His beloved child. My copy was so worn out, I bought another a few years back. Then, when Amazon notified me of this pocket- size version I was so excited! I can carry it in my purse, or with my Bible in it's case. Another plus of this version is the 'thees and thous' have been updated to eliminate them completely. I am a good reader, so I would automatically just change them in my mind as I read, but this is even nicer and makes for smoother reading.
To me, this book is a vehicle to jump start my prayers, and also just to meditate on it's truths
. Here is a few lines of an example:
The title is "The Burden Bearer" The verse is Deut. 8:16. "He might test you, to do you good in the end."
"My child, do not share your burdens with all who come to you professing concern. I, Myself, am the great burden-bearer. You need not look to another. I will lead you and guide you in wisdom from above. All things will be as I plan them, if you allow Me the freedom to shape circumstances and lead you to the right decisions. I am merciful and kind. I love you beyond measure. I intend to do you good; and I will bring to you those who can truly help, if you leave all in My hands."
Every devotion is rich in scriptural truths and will bring scripture to your mind as you read. I can't reccommend this book enough! Most of these devotions were written back in the 60's and 70's, and I would love to see a whole new generation latch onto these writings and grow in their faith with them!
Frances J. Roberts has written 4 other devotionals that are just as rich in this same vein. I am hoping that they too will be published in pocket-size form also. All my copies of his writings are getting pretty worn!

This book is extraordinary. It's like God speaking directly to you, with Love, Compassion, and Understanding of who you are. Knowing you personally and intimately. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

Prophetic application
12 Jun 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
Think of your favorite Pastor whose heart breaks for his flock and earnestly desires for them to
experience the fullness of God in Christ and not the empty cisterns of this world. That is what
comes to mind with these prophetic applications of God's word. There can be a stinging rebuke, with
a call to repentance, followed by an exhortation to come up higher.
