About the author
Charles F. Stanley
555 books678 followersDr. Charles F. Stanley is the senior pastor of First Baptist Church Atlanta, founder of In Touch Ministries, and a New York Times best-selling author who has written more than fifty books, and has sold more than nine million copies. He demonstrates a keen awareness of people's needs and provides Christ-centered, biblically-based principles for everyday life.
Charles Frazier Stanley was born September 25, 1932, in the small town of Dry Fork, Virginia. The only child of Charley and Rebecca Stanley, Charles came into the world during a time when the entire nation felt the grip of the Great Depression. To make matters worse, just nine months later, his father Charley died at the young age of 29.
However, Charles refused to let the Great Depression or the difficulties of his life define him. Instead, like his father and grandfather before him, he clung to God’s Word and took up the mantle to preach the gospel to whoever would listen.
Dr. Stanley’s motivation is best represented by the truth found in Acts 20:24, “Life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about God's mighty kindness and love.” This is because, as he says, “It is the Word of God and the work of God that changes people’s lives.”
Dr. Stanley’s teachings can be heard weekly at First Baptist Church Atlanta, daily on “In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley” radio and television broadcasts on more than 2,800 stations around the world, on the Internet at intouch.org, through the In Touch Messenger, and in the monthly, award-winning In Touch magazine.

Dr Charles Stanley has a gift explaining scripture and its application in the real world. In Touch Daily Readings for devoted Living is an uplifting, sober connection to our Creator on a daily basis. What better way to start the day than with Good News that nourishes the soul.

This devotional issue beautifully expresses how Jesus Christ is our strength and refuge. Stanley describes how our differences are blessings, each with qualities to better serve God in one capacity or another. The bible is clear that God tests and the devil tempts. Giving in to temptation only leads to destruction. May's devotional shows how trials build and strengthen individuals who strive to live a life that is pleasing to God.

Patience, faith, prayer, meditation, peace in tumultuous times. This was a guiding read as life hit speed bumps this month. We are never alone. It was a lovely beginning to my day. I appreciated the dated meditations and the scripture references. The accompanying author's thoughts were uplifting .
It followed the month of ordinary times.

As a month's calendar unfolds with all of its appointments and synchronized events, the In Touch: Daily Readings for Devotional Living series aids in my efforts to maintain an even keel regardless of circumstance. Scripture and discussion of it reveals truth that may unsettle my soul. Solutions to my problems are not specifically granted if for selfish reasons. The education devotionals provide develops a more God-centered life that makes discernment between righteousness and evil easier. With a loving relationship there is a desire to pursue God's word and become aware of His Holy Spirit who blesses, comforts, warns, encourages, and loves every day. Instead of angst God's word produces a peace and joy only experienced through the grace of the Holy Spirit. This May issue's theme is a reminder that God is always with us.
