The Bible calls human life a vapor. A mist. A wisp of fog. A flower that springs up in the morning and fades away by mid-afternoon. We like to think we have years to pursue our goals, raise our families, and make a difference in the world. But we just don't know. The fact is, our stay on earth is really very brief. And when a loved one unexpectedly steps out of this life into eternity, it shakes us to the core. We ask ourselves: Is heaven real? Will I see him - will I see her- again? Will we be together again? How can I know for sure?
Pastor Greg Laurie crafted many of the devotionals in this book after the sudden departure of his son Christopher to heaven. Each day offers comfort to bruised hearts, perspective in times of confusion and pain, and a hope that will sustain us through this life and beyond.
Greg Laurie is an American author and pastor who serves as the senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California, Harvest Corona in Corona, California Harvest Woodcrest in Riverside, California, Harvest at Kumulani in Kapalua, Hawaii, and Harvest Orange County in Irvine, California.
....amidst an uncertain future, daily devotions are a true highlight. And MrLaurie does know how to write a great devotional! Thoughtful, peaceful , and introspective, and very highly recommended.
Great devotional with daily verses and insights from Pastor Greg
I was very pleased with this devotional. Pastor Greg wrote this shortly after loosing his son Christopher. The devotional is definitely a good one for those who have recently lost a loved one or carry a burden of pain but it is also great for anyone.
There are verses and devotionals for every day of the year, however the weekend (Saturday, Sunday) devotionals count as one. Every other day is listed by name to keep you on track. The devotionals start out with a verse and Pastor Greg refelcts on that verse and gives some insight. Overall, it is very thoughtful and a great read for the mornings.
