    I always enjoy checking out what books others say have made an impact on their life. This book isn’t sprinkle coated ice cream devotionals. These daily reads make you meditate, examine, and change to be more holy. Highly recommend!

    The value and insight offered by Gurnall in these pages are perhaps incalculable because of the depth and breadth of the spiritual life... and one of the sad side effects of the modern gospel in conjunction with American affluence is the lack of acknowledgement much less sound assistance in the undertaking the balancing of perpetual tension between grace and fallen nature in the duality of sanctification and oppressed perception. The amenity of Grace can become dismissive of it's gravity... in the opposition to the conflict for which Grace is the antidote. The addition of sentient confrontation to the contention bring a welcome gratitude for this kind of therapy.
    Thank God someone in contemporary times had the present and conviction to compile and preserve this for modern consumption. An antidote is not inoculation but rather the management of such adversity. Any modern Christian unfamiliar with this means of Grace is suffering from unseen depravity that is the anaesthetization of ignorance. And the dangers of what one doesn't acknowledge is the attack of what one doesn't know.
    Please get this for your own good!

    This is one of the most helpful, Biblical, effective devotionals I have ever read! It takes Daily readings from the original 3 volume book that was abridged and put into everyday language in the 1990"s. I enjoyed this book so much I have it in kindle and ordered the original 3 volume set of books where it originated. This book delves DEEPLY into the armor of God. The how, why, when, where, etc. questions are all addressed. Every Christian should have this and the original abridged books in their personal library. I can't say enough good about it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great book
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 25, 2016
    This is a truly fantastic book. I particularly enjoyed the entry on unrighteous gain ("Wealth and Righteousness") but there are so many other gems here too. Gurnall strikes me as having been a great man. Quite uncompromising in some ways yet at other times merciful and encouraging. Highly recommended.

    An incredible insight into Christian warfare. Gurnall's work is as relevant now as ever before, in some ways more so. If your serious about the Christian walk this book is a must.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 19, 2016
    Just a big version of 'the word for today' or one of those daily readings you get from UCB radio, a bit like the famous 'everyday for Jesus' readings. Not quite what I expected.
