By A Customer
The book of daily reading with focus on your relationship with Jesus Christ. It will challenge your thoughts and more importantly the way you live and see life. You will be challenged, don't read this book if you are content with your life. The challenges that daily reading bring out are to put Jesus at the centre of all you do.

Simple, Challenging --Simply Challenging, 5 July 2004
This review is from: MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST - UPDATED Edition: reprint (Paperback)
You'll read "deeper" books, but few as consistently challenging. Chambers speaks, in one-a-day bites, about the devotion a Christian must have to be obedient to God. These aren't "sound bites," but morsels of a very meaty meal. Catholics and Protestants both will find Chambers pointing the way to Heaven, and helping us know how to live out Christ's plan while still on Earth.
A verse accompanies each day, and these ought be looked up to see the fully context. Have your Bible and a notepad next to you.
Chambers is candid to say the Christian life is difficult, but encourages us that this difficulty should challenge us, not scare us away. Maybe Chambers might like the slogan "A few good men," except this time referring to future converts?
For people who like the "Daily Bread" booklets, check "My Utmost" out. Like the DB series, each entry will take you just a few minutes to read, but plenty of time to ponder.
Use this together as a discussion step with another person, your spouse or small group. Figure out why Chambers places the standard so high -- does Scripture agree? And once you figure out the answer for a given day's passage, now what? What is your response?
I read an entry and realize I've got a long way to go, but feel glad I'm on the road.

Insightful and challenging daily reading notes, 23 Sep 1999
On initial browsing I was a little put off these notes by the old-fashioned language - don't be! These notes, which are short and concise, contain excellent insights into Christian living that are just as relevant today, and just as challenging. I enjoyed using these notes because they get the balance between `lightweight' and `heavy'. They leave you thinking how mature and humble Oswald Chambers must have been and what a great relationship he must have had with God - it has challenged me to really examine the depth of my relationship with God.
