A lot passes in our age as truth that is simply untrue. Falsehood abounds all around us. This little book contains two hundred devotional thoughts based on the Bible. I firmly believe the Bible is the sourcebook and final word on truth. I realize many other viewpoints are floated every day but I seek to base my life on the Word of God rather than the opinion of man. I believe the meditations shared by Randy Alcorn will help people who choose to read and think about it to become more grounded in their faith. I recommend it for your consideration.

A Bigger View of God's Word

In this devotional by Randy Alcorn we learn that the most important truth is the truth of who Jesus is.
We also learn that the Truth does not change according to whether or not we believe it. It is truth whether or not we choose to believe it.
This book encourages not to buy into the lies and hold onto the truth.
I give Truth five out of five stars.
Happy Reading.

Really appreciated this 200-day devotional book. Took it slow but it was encouraging. Very bite-sized and would recommend as a supplement - not as primary.

November 11, 2017 ***equips readers to recognize truth and find their place in God's plan***
What is absolute truth when a secular culture encourages children to choose what gender they want to be in spite of who God made them to be, where evil is considered good and good evil, where good outcomes often justify a means to an end? While many of these examples make headline news today they also contradict reality, the state of things as they exist. It’s also a denial of absolute truth, the theme of Randy Alcorn’s newest book, “Truth: A Bigger View of God’s Word.”
In this release Randy pens two hundred, one-page meditations that take readers into God’s Word to look for truth because God’s Word is anchored in truth and never changes, unlike secular societies view of truth. The devotions, numbered one through two-hundred, are concise and take only minutes to read. Each reading begins with a Scripture verse that sets the theme for a short reading and concludes with an inspirational quote.
For example, Day 40’s reading features a theme of trust. Scripture is from Proverbs 3: 5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
The brief devotion reminds readers, “God welcomes our prayers” which are reinforced by faith and trust in the Lord, while understanding the outcome is in God’s hands. Our part is to pray and submit to God’s teaching and guidance even in the most difficult of circumstances.
Charles Spurgeon’s quote, “…faith’s rare wisdom enables us to march on in the dark with infallible accuracy, since she places her hand in that of her Great Guide,” completes this reading.
Other readings focus on belief, Satan’s lies, Christian’s lack of motivation, spiritual amnesia, temptation, the spiritual family, Heaven, God’s grace, truth, sexual immorality and much more.
The devotions rich biblical teachings feature concepts of reliable truth that leave no room for relativism, a belief that considers truth in light of current knowledge, behaviors and secular morality.
If you long for a transforming truth that combats feelings and circumstances, a view that detects the deceits of an increasingly secular society, “Truth: A Bigger View of God’s Word” belongs on your bookshelf. It’s a book that equips readers to recognize absolute truth and find their “place in God’s plan.”
