About the author

C. John Jack Miller, PhD, founded Serge (formerly World Harvest Mission) and the New Life Presbyterian network of churches. A pastor, seminary professor, and an author, he wrote Outgrowing the Ingrown Church, Come Back Barbara, Powerful Evangelism for the Powerless, A Faith Worth Sharing, Repentance, and The Heart of the Servant Leader.
He and his wife Rose Marie have five children and twenty-four grandchildren. Jack went to be with the Lord in 1996. Serge means joining together rough edges to form a smooth seam. Serge (formerly World Harvest Mission) is a ministry that sees God weaving together the ragged parts of a fallen world with his goodness, making the tattered beautiful. This grace compels his people to go, to join their lives with the communities Serge serves around the world, as Jesus Christ makes all things new. This is God's grace at the fray. Serge's work consists of sending and caring for missionaries, discipling people around the world, and developing resources like Sonship and The Gospel-Centered Life for spiritual growth.

Good content, but it’s really short. And it’s recycled content from sermons, which I’ve never read, but at times it comes across a little different than I’d expect from a devotional.

[Shawn · Rating 4 out of 5]

I often like to pick up a devotional book when I have a few minutes to relax and like to have something deep and encouraging to feed my mind and soul, I am very thankful to have received this book and will go back to it time and time again.

If you are looking for a devotion book that speaks from the scriptures with substance and power and gives glory to God read Saving Grace Daily Devotions from Jack Miller.

Insights From a Modern Day Puritan

This devotional gives a peek into what drove and motivated him in his walk with God.

I had the privilege to know Jack and hear his teaching firsthand. Reminded me of the devoutness of some of the Puritan writers. His heart was totally engaged with his evangelistic mindset. Would share the Gospel with anyone, anytime, anyplace.

What a wonderful devotional book. This is highly recommended.

[David Campton · Rating 2 out of 5]

A beautifully produced, eye-catching, comfortable in the hand, daily devotional, which is sadly much more insubstantial than its physical form. With relatively random single scripture verses for each day of any year (including leap years) tied to a single page excerpt from on of C. John Miller's sermons, it feels curiously shapeless and rootless. It probably doesn't help that I am unfamiliar with the late author's ministry and do not fall within his Calvinist mindset. It feels churlish to give this such a low rating given it was a very kindly meant gift from a colleague, but it has sat on my bedside for years now with me dipping into it from time to time without it really capturing my attention. With a new year it is time to call it a day and pass it on to someone else who may find it more helpful than I did.

Brief Daily Gospel Reminders

Jack Miller specialized in the simple Good News of Jesus and how it changes EVERYTHING, including us, albeit never at quite the pace we sometimes desire. This little book has simple, short, one page devotionals for each day of the year. While short enough to read in just a few minutes, the Gospel tidbits often occupied my thinking for hours afterwards.

Great little devotional

This is a wonderful little devotional. Don't let the brevity fool you - Miller gets to the heart pretty quickly each day and brings the grace of God to address each sinful tendency he exposes.

[Molly Moody · Rating 4 out of 5]

it's amazing how much punch can be contained in just a sentence. I would've appreciated hearing him preach.

Read all the Jack Miller you can.
