Great way to start or end your day!

This book is a Blessing to me! I would encourage anyone to buy this jewel!

Awesome book.

I would have given It 5 stars but it took awhile to get use to the narrator's voice. Love the expanded version.

A Daily Blessing

Most days, it was evident that God used this book to direct me in my life's situations.

I love this format!

Although the chapters are numbered sequentially, the announcer states the specific month and day prior to the daily reading. This really helps when I’m away from home without my book and want to continue my devotions. I especially like the added question to ponder after each reading and scripture. This format really helps me to stay on track.

New format is not good. Print too small

New format is very unfriendly. How are we supposed to know that chapter 275 is Oct 1?
I try to read it every day but if I miss a day or two I must search chapters. I think this will discourage some people

First day but I like it so far

It goes from chapter 1-366. Each chapter corresponds to the day of the year. So January 1st is chapter 1 and December 31st is chapter 365.

A Morning Cup of “Joe” for the Spirit!

At first I was put off a bit by words being put into the mouth of the Savior, as if He were speaking directly to me, but as I noted the wild popularity of the book and listened closely, the solace and encouragement spoken resonated beautifully within my heart. The short scripture verses that follow are great to think about thru the day and they solidly enforce the spoken theme. The closing wrap-up prayer suggestion given by a gentle but clear female voice is a nice touch and adds variety as it follows the gentle, masculine “voice of Jesus”.
Now I understand why it is so popular and I delight in listening daily.
It really helps me keep my focus on what God thinks and is doing around me.

Every word inspires me

I listen to this audio almost everyday for keeping calm and strengthening my trust in God. I only recently rediscovered the power of Jesus in my life, and he has already shown me the peaceful way and a blessed life. It’s my go to pocketbook now. 🙏

Three New Things Added

Any additional comments?

Excellent update. Three new things:

1. Passages from the Bible related to each entry.

2. Suggestions to put each entry into action.

3. Music.

Mostly I like the added passages from the Bible because they support each entry and, in some cases, offer greater understanding.

Wish chapters aligned with days

If you want to retrieve a specific day... it doesn’t align with the chapters. Other than that, narration was good and book was lovely.
