By the Still Waters

by Vance Havner

He leadeth me beside the still waters" - Psalm 23:2Not always can we pause beside the cool, quiet waters of nature, but we can always find refreshment in the still waters flowing through the depth of our souls. In each of these twenty-nine short chapters are quiet thoughts to lead the mind of the reader from the rush of the day’s routine to the soothing Source of the life’s serenity. These messages will do more that quiet your spirit. They will awaken your heart to renewing faith and will help you to face each day with courage and strength.

[Sara Deprey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent.

I must be entirely desperate for more of the indwelling of the holy spirit. I can't dwell on the petty things of this life if I'm to be effective for the Kingdom of God.

I believe this was the first of Havner's many books. It is well worth reading and gave me much to think (and pray) about!

Simple wisdom from God

This is a refreshing devotional that reminds me of what is truly important. It is based on the truth of God's word and speaks to the soul.
