Here speaks a pastor who knows both his Bible and his people. He not only understands the Scriptures but lovingly applies them like medicine for the soul. These daily devotions will do that. They will help you get to know the Bible better and how it fits together. They will stretch your mind with deep, bracing theology expressed with accessible clarity. They will warm and nourish your heart because they breathe the beauty of Christ. I have been struck by the freshness and variety of the devotions, from every part of the Scriptures, and by the pastor’s heart that beats through them. There is rich nourishment here for the soul, the fruit of many years of mining the Scriptures and caring for people.
If you are looking for wise and perceptive guidance to help you see and experience the deep impact of God’s words in Scripture, you will love this devotional. Each day’s reflection is a gem, focusing the light of the chosen Scripture text onto our thinking, our affections and our behaviour. I cannot imagine it being read without benefit!
These devotions will help you praise when you are celebrating, will comfort you when you are struggling, will encourage you when you are doubting, and will be a balm when you are hurting. Each day, Alistair points to the glory and goodness of God as He reveals Himself to us in His word. Whoever you are, there is rich treasure for you in this book.
I love Alistair's books. Quality man of God, quality, solid biblical teaching. Stayed the course!
This devotional no exception. Had his Vol 2 last year so wanted to get Vol 1 this year. Not disappointed.
And my confidence in Alastair has not wained despite current controversy, as I know the man's heart and stand on moral issues - much of current public criticism is unbalanced and out of context. Read his book Christian Manifesto to capture something of this man's heart.
I chose this as a Christmas present and am enjoying it very much. It gives you a truth to get your teeth into and mull over during the day. I love the cross-references which link passages in a way that I might not have thought of and the extra passage to read also throws more light on the topic under discussion. I'm not convinced it would work for a new Christian or someone who doesn't know the Bible very well and so may not understand the context of the verse or verses being explained and applied or the cross-references. But if you're reasonably familiar with the Bible and want to deepen your understanding, this book is really good.
Very pleased with Post and packaging. And of course items ordered.
Well, I’d love to leave a great review, but for some unknown reason the publishers decided to use the teeniest font size they could find. It’s impossible to read without a magnifying glass! Why on earth would you do that - is it trendy to use a tiny font size or something?! So dreadfully disappointed in wasting my money on something I can’t even read (even with glasses!) :(
Parcel packed very well, delivered on time, all books are of excellent quality.
Bought for a gift, loved by the recipient.
The well-known and loved author Alistair Begg begins each day with a short Bible passage or verse and masterfully opens up the Scripture - almost like a very short sermon, bringing the biblical truth to the reader with an engaging warmth and some powerful insight. These are reflections that deeply challenge as well as encourage - the main attribute of an excellent Bible teacher is being able to impact the hearer by expounding the Word of God accurately, and in these daily reflections Alistair Begg does just that.
My own daily devotionals have been greatly impacted by using “Truth For Life - Vol 1” to the extent that I have often found myself journalling quotes from Alistair Begg that have both encouraged and challenged me. The real life application of these devotionals really are excellent and I can see myself using these for many more years to come.
Alistair Begg also provides an additional Bible reference as further reading at the end of each reflection, which means that you could easily use the Truth for Life for your main daily devotional as it provides two Scripture readings alongside the main devotional.
In conclusion, “Truth for Life” is an excellent daily devotional and it is easy to see why it has become so popular and well-loved. If you don’t have a copy then I highly recommend it as a resource that will be a great blessing to you in your walk with The Lord. Likewise, this new gift edition makes it a great choice of a gift to encourage another believer or family member to start each day afresh with the Gospel.

This devotional is beautiful, well-written, encouraging and helpful. Each day there is a short verse, exhortation, and further scripture references. There is also a yearly Bible reading plan at the end of each day should you want to read the Bible in a year.
