Paul's affection for the Corinthian church and his endurance through hardship for their joy testifies to his deep devotion to Christ. His example and instruction in this letter inspires us to find our joy in Jesus. In both volumes of A Sincere and Pure Devotion to Christ , Storms provides readers with fifty daily meditations on this great epistle that are both accessible and substantive. His analysis and application of the biblical text make these meditations suitable for private devotions or small group studies, or as a commentary for Bible study, Sunday School lessons, or sermon preparation.

Generally speaking I very much dislike daily devotional reading. It is usually shallow. This book is different. Biblical depth with application. Excellent.
Great insight and expository teaching of the book of II Corinthians and the application to our daily living. I would highly encourage this book to others.
