Most merciful Redeemer, Friend and Brother. May we see thee more clearly, Love thee more dearly and follow thee more nearly, day by day.
-Prayer of St. Richard of Chichester

As you send your children off to begin the school year, do you find that you have a few more moments of quiet time? Do you crave a way to fill those moments with prayer but maybe have trouble getting started? Are you interested in nurturing your spiritual side? Tuck this gem of a book into the glove box of your car for carpool or place it on your bathroom sink, where you can read a short daily meditation to help you center your day on Christ. Organized by the seasons of the year, the calendar dated entries are intelligent and so thought provoking that you will meditate on them throughout your day.

At the Feet of Jesus has been one of my favorite daily devotionals. Each morning I pour a cup of coffee and open my book to a verse Joanna has shared along with a related excerpt. They are only about a page long, but they are so full of wisdom and feel like an enlightening chat with a close friend. The Read and Reflect sections encourage me to get into the Word for myself and then apply what I have read to my life. Joanna truly has such a heart for leading her readers to know Jesus by spending time at His feet. I believe anyone who has that desire will be blessed by this book.

This devotional is absolutely fabulous.  One of the very best.  Easy to read, applies to the difficulties and trials of life and how God walks us through those times.

It is by far the best inspirational daily reading I have come across in years.  The author did an excellent job in tying the reading to the bible verse.  Excellent and highly recommended for spiritual meditation.

I was given this book as a Christmas gift and cannot recommend it highly enough. It is a reprint of the original 1888 version, so the language is a bit archaic. (Think King James English.) This not a deterrent for me because the content is just exceptional. Sound reason and scripture are used to illustrate various facets of abiding in Christ. Each day's reading is about 4 pages long. I read it thoughtfully and allow the concepts to unfold in my mind and heart. After finishing the book, I am re-reading it, a day at a time, and finding new insights. That is the mark of a great devotional. I have shared these meditations with others and recommended the book highly. I bought the Kindle version so that I would always have a copy with me. It's that's profound.

Someone bought this book for me as a gift and I have enjoyed it so much that I bought 4 to give as gifts this past Christmas.  The daily devotions are short with scriptures to look up.  I like it so well that I am using again for the second year.  It really helps you to focus on God each day and putting HIM first in our lives, and truly trusting HIM in our lives.  My friends that I bought this book for are really enjoying as well.  I would definately buy again and this makes a wonderful gift.

Beloved pastor Charles Stanley has been preaching the Word for over forty years, many of which my family and I have watched on television. He is one of the most well known and respected ministers of our time.

In this new devotional, Dr. Stanley, leads us through 365 days of devotional praise and fellowship with Jesus Christ. His goal is to help the reader come to a closer relationship with the Creator God. The reader will find suggested scripture reading, a key verse for the day, a daily prayer, and inspirational messages like: In Awe of His Grace; Waiting On God; A Candle of Hope; An Act of God's Will; The Victory Is Near; and Coming Out of Hiding.

This book is truly a gift of love by the author. Each entry is filled with hope, inspiration, and encouragement. I have found a sense of peace in each of the entries that I have read so far. I also like the colorful artwork on the cover and feel it would make an excellent gift for a loved one.

I believe this is one of the most well-written devotionals to come along in a while-- right up there with those of Joyce Meyers.

Each of the 365 daily readings in this inspiring collection offers a carefully chosen passage of scripture, a brief, thoughtful message from Dr. Graham, and a heartfelt prayer composed especially for this book. Distilled from a lifetime of study and ministry, these devotionals supply daily food for thought about living fruitfully and joyfully in an often fretful world.

The foreword page is very inspiring to read. Dr. Graham mentions that as much as all of us love to spend time on the serene mountain tops, we are also called to the valley experiences to reach out to the lost. Our help always comes from the Lord who created the mountains and the valleys.

Every day has a verse and 2-3 paragraphs of reading rich with a message that will speak to the heart and help meditate on the verse. It ends with a small prayer, which is something I really liked about this devotional. There have been many days when I felt so overwhelmed with my many prayer requests not only for myself, but for others that I don't know where to start. The short and powerful prayers in my daily devotional have helped me to connect with God in prayer in a way I've never been able to before, just for the simple fact that I can stop over analysing every word I want to say and truly connect with God.

With 2011 quickly approaching I am so thankful and blessed to have this wonderful devotional to take me through the year on a journey ever closer to God. I truly loved everything I saw and read in this devotional, and I look forward to reading each and ever devotional. Billy Graham has always had a talent for speaking not only to your heart, but deep down to your soul and this devotional does just that. This is a perfect book to get to start out 2011 and would certainly make an excellent gift for pastors, friends, family, and Christians in general. Pick up your copy today, wherever books are sold.

God bless!

This is a fantastic devotional. It takes a passage from One Year devotional and applies it to our daily lives. It includes quotes from others who followed God and a prayer. Very practical and encouraging. It can be read without the One Year devotional Bible, but I liked reading it with that each day of the year.

A true blessing from in my opinion the finest Bible teacher today. Highly recommended for both morning and evening devotional. Easy to understand and shows the love that God has for each and everyone of us. It hits on many things we as christians face in day to day life.

I love this book.  This is the fifth copy I have purchased for myself and as gifts to others, as well as the Kindle version.  It speaks directly me each day and has helped me develop a greater yearning to understand and apply Jesus's message.  I look forward to reading the devotional each day at home and travelling.

What a lovely devotional!
The look of it is eye-catching and gorgeous, making it a great addition to any bookshelf or nightstand. It would be just PERFECT as a gift for any special woman in your life. They will love opening it and admiring the elegant pages.
Not only that, but the content is relevant and attainable to anyone of any age. There is no deep theology discussed, like in devotionals by Oswald Chambers or Charles Spurgeon. Instead, the content is simple and encouraging. God's love is discussed in practical ways, and there is much to take from it. You will be inspired to take in His love and then show it to others throughout the year. Also, if you are a fan of real-life examples and anecdotes taken from an author's experience, you will enjoy it. If not, though, you may still find many things to take from the devotions. But the examples and stories are quite plentiful, as a word of caution.
Personally, I love it. I like abstract theology in devotionals, but examples (such as the ones in this one) push me to look more in my own life for signs of God's love. And I found this devotional to be quick and pleasant to read, like taking a drink of fresh water.
Highly recommended. I will be giving it as a gift in the future.

This is the best devotional I've purchased so far.  I have purchased 4 more as gifts.  Amazingly, it has always met my current days need.  It is very encouraging.  I have often found myself sharing my readings with someone who needs the current days encouragement.  Even today it opened my heart to something I really must handle. Awesome authors Cheri and Sandra.

This book is written to bring daily focus to your devotional life. This Is A Great Devotional. This caters to Everyone's Soul no matter the situation that may occur in your life. There is a message from God in this book. Each of the 365 daily readings in this inspiring collection offers a carefully chosen passage of scripture, a brief, thoughtful message from Dr. Graham, and a heartfelt prayer. God's word is often more of a challenge than I'd like to admit. I often hope to sit and study in the evenings, but the reality of life rushes in with tiredness, the children, and my 89 yr old grandmother that always wakes up all through the night. For those days when it I'm to tired to do anything else it is a blessing for me to read the daily devotional because it opens my eyes to Christ to help me to begin the next day properly. Further in the devotional, he reminds us that no one is beyond the grace and reach of God and we, as believers, should continually be sharing the gospel of salvation. Furthermore each daily entry begins with a scripture reference and then an encouragement to. It ends with a prayer or a prompting. Each day reading points you to Christ and challenges the reader.
I was excited to read Billy Graham's devotional and was not disappointed.
Overall, this is an encouraging read and one that I would recommend.
