After reading the Daily Guideposts devotions for many years, I feel like some of the contributors are old friends. Each page is a devotion for that day, followed by one or more short scriptures. This year the scriptures relate to the subject of the devotion much more than last year when they often seemed random. In listing the scriptures, they use 2-3 letter abbreviations for the books of the Bible. Most are easy to figure out, but JO? Job? Joel? Jonah? Turns out its Joshua. I wasn't able to find a list of the abbreviations in a quick look through the book. These devotions would be great for a new Christian, but if they are not well acquainted with the Bible, they might have difficulty finding some of the scriptures.

Great daily devotionals with Scriptural support. Each is written by someone who has been through the process to become a Guidepost writer, and that's no small feat.

For anyone who doesn't know, Daily Guideposts for each year is a compilation of devotional readings for each day of the year, by a select group of various authors. Some of them are really good, and some of them are not so good. Nevertheless, it is a useful tool for daily devotions, and many of the readings blessed my day with grace and something to ponder throughout the day. Each one begins with a brief Scripture selection, followed by the reading. After the reading will be a brief prayer by the author of that day's reading, followed by some further Scripture suggestions.

There are some subtopics throughout the book, such as "Hope in Hospice," "The Path to Adoption," "A New Way to Serve," and my favorite, "Life Lessons from Those I've Met." One of the latter in this year's book involved a meeting of the author and Mitsuo Fachida, the Japanese commander of the Pearl Harbor mission. It's readings like that one that keep me coming back every day to Guideposts.

My favorite feature of the book, though, is the two blank pages at the end of every month. Well, they aren't entirely blank, are they? With a heading of "Daily Mercies," and a blank line for every day of the preceding month, you can pretty much write whatever you want in there. My entries varied from prayers to one word celebrations of gifts from God.

Guideposts is a simple, yet effective, way to keep your devotional life moving forward. I am grateful to my parents for giving me a copy of this book for each year. I'll be starting on the 2015 book today, since it's January 1.

Bonnie and I have used "Daily Guideposts" for our morning devotional/Bible/coffee time for years now and have always enjoyed the varying viewpoints expressed by the writers. They run the gamut of denominations, with even one or two Jewish writers. It never hurts, but always inspires, to hear how scriptures are perceived by others. We recommend it.

With a total of 46 writers involved, Daily Guideposts has a multitude of writing styles. Of course, some are preferable to others, but each has a unique message, with many personal stories and ideas to provide the reader with something original every day of the year.

This is not one of my favorite daily devotionals. I think there are some inspiring stories throughout but I like things to be more direct when it comes to my devotionals. I did not get this book for 2015 and will be trying something new!

A gift from my mother every year I have enjoyed this devotional for more than 30 years. Always a blessing and have followed many of the authors and their lives as part of the journey.

The 2014 Daily Guidepost Devotional did not resonate with me as some of the past years have. So I am going to spend 2015 discovering some new devotional/bible study authors.

I meant to ration myself to one devotion a day. I completely failed with that and read the whole thing in a month.
