With a warm and friendly voice, 365 short devotional writings on the character and teachings of Jesus encourage readers to greet each day by drawing near to Him and inviting His presence into their day.
Spend time with Jesus at the beginning of each day and experience His nearness and peace in a new way throughout the year.

Mornings with Jesus is the perfect devotional for a busy woman. The entries are short, just one page each, but they offer a chance to start the day by focusing on the Word and how it applies in our lives.
The book was compiled by Guideposts and features writings from seven Christian women and authors. Each entry includes a thought for the day based on a Bible verse, along with a short prayer related to the topic. The devotional for January 28th, based on Revelation 12:10, touched on something that I’m sure many of us have dealt with – guilt. Here’s an excerpt:
"I know we’re all human, we’re all imperfect. And yet I find myself striving to do absolutely everything right. When I fail, or when I fail someone I care about, it eats away at me. I don’t think about how I can learn from my mistakes; instead, I revisit what I did wrong, over and over again….But if I remember Jesus’ victory and love, the guilt and accusations melt away."
So true, at least for me. How easy it is to get trapped in a loop of shame or regret over something we’ve done, and what a great reminder to accept the forgiveness that we are offered so freely from the Lord.

"Invite Jesus to take the muddy struggles of your life and sculpt a blessing from that humble clay." --Sharon Hinck pg. 96
Quiet time, time alone with God. Precious time spent in prayer, Bible study, and devotion. These precious moments are always accentuated with wonderful daily devotionals such as those found in "Mornings With Jesus." Through the collaboration of authors, Guideposts offers this book which 365 daily readings that provide encouragement, hope, and food for our souls. Each day has three parts: Scripture passage, devotional, and a faith step (one of my favorites it the one on the top of this blog post). They are quick and easy to read, and will set your day on the right path.
This is a wonderful devotional and will make a great gift. It is perfect to read with my morning coffee, while I have time in the Word and prayer. I highly recommend it and will be giving copies as gifts. Many thanks to the Litfuse group. I am very happy to be part of the blog tour for this book!

Each morning I make time for God. I read my bible, the Qu'ran and a devotional or two. One of the devotionals I am reading this year is Mornings with Jesus. I love the way the story each day makes me stop and think about its connection to the passage used. Then I think of what I value in that subject. I always feel good about my choices and values, but to have daily emphasis on how to keep strong and move forward in life, being a moral, kind, and decent person, how could I resist?!
I enjoy this moment in time that I spend with God each morning, and I feel this book is great for helping me achieve whatever I feel is necessary to have those talks. I highly recommend you have daily talks with God. It will enlighten you and make you feel better about yourself and your days.

This was a very enjoyable devotional. It had beautifully written pages for each day.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone seeking inspiration for their days.

I am using this version as a placeholder for their Daily Bible. The format was a bit hard to get used to at first, especially when cross-referencing things in Asimov's books, but I really liked their daily encouragement sections.
