Reviews

[Stanley Turner]

An excellent devotional book from John MacArthur. The use of scripture and suggestions for prayer, future study along with MacArthur’s commentary make this a very good devotional book for everyone. Highly recommended…SLT

MacArthur Devotional

This daily reading is one in a series. As I have read many of MacArthur’s works like this, it is excellent for daily study. Strength for Today is probably my favorite, so I will return to that for 2025. However, each of these is well organized, clear, and concise. There is a focus for each month that is unpacked with precision each day. I highly recommend this or one in the series!

[Emily Hunt]

Excellent book with easy to read, daily devotions and corresponding Scripture. Definitely took me longer than a year to read, but worth the time.

[Beth Snider]

Accomplishes the goal...helps to draw nearer to our blessed Lord! Perfect way to start every morning!

[Cindy]

One of the best devotionals you can get. I highly recommend it. This is my favorite devotional of all, and I've read many. He helps you understand scripture, grow in your faith, and best of all, grow closer to the Lord.

[Tiggy]

I love this book!! It's very deep and offers memory verses, daily scripture verses to pray and meditate over. It offers suggestions for prayer. John MacArthur was such a gifted author and pastor. I miss him tremendously and so does his flock.

[Eric]

A okay devotion I like Pipers better but not bad.

[Rod Innis]

A great daily devotional book - a page for each day of the year.

[Madeline Hoherd]

Excellent daily devotional. My husband and I read it together and that leads to some good discussions. I've used it as the basis for Bible lessons.

[Debra Hofland]

Every daily devotion page is part of a year-long mini-theology course!! MacArthur broadens the reader's vocabulary & Bible knowledge by regularly defining key words in the Bible text.

[Danielle Hardy]

I have loved starting my day reading John MacArthur. This was an enlightening devotional reading with a great expounding of scripture and an opportunity to look up further verses.
