Finding Faithfulness: A Year of Reading and Reflecting on God’s Word - eBook

Finding Faithfulness: A Year of Reading and Reflecting on God’s Word stands apart from many devotionals and reading plans due to its viable schedule, unique presentation, and meaningful participation. Shorter readings one day each week allow flexibility for catching up and further reflection. Entries present appropriate texts for holidays and frequently pair related passages. Seven Reflection Recommendations shape a devotional rhythm to increase contemplation and generate application. Readers who have gone through the Bible often will find this approach fresh and meaningful. Those attempting to read the entire Bible will be engaged and maintain momentum through the year. Readers will foster personal faithfulness in reflective meditation and godly living, and more importantly they’ll discover God’s amazing faithfulness. Finding Faithfulness is a one-of-a-kind yearly devotional guide that combines simplicity with viability. Each entry lists seven suggestions on an easy-to-read page that invites participation. The approach is inductive, as readers are encouraged to actually read the Bible and discover its meaning and personal application. The book’s careful  orchestration begets confidence that reading the entire Bible in a year is not simply a possibility but also an inviting prospect. After reading the opening pages, I felt that I had just been offered the deal of a lifetime. ..................... Our setting every morning is, ‘Git ‘er done.’  But what a wonderful alternative to start the day with what God has done—and what he’s promised to do—to fulfill his promises to us in Christ! –Michael Horton Professor, Westminster Seminary California and editor-in-chief at Sola Media Though people often look for a quick fix to their problems, the most enduring solutions are the good habits we build into the rhythm of each day and repeat throughout our lives. This book offers help in the best of habits: daily prayer and meditation on God’s Word. Glenda Faye Mathes leads the reader into a daily rhythm of resting, requesting, reading, reflecting, responding, resolving, and reaching—all done by faith in the Word of God. –Dr. Joel and Mary Beeke Joel Beeke is president of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary and a pastor of the Heritage Reformed Congregation in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

In an age marked by many distractions and temptations to do otherwise, Mathes offers a creative and stimulating program for daily reading and meditating upon the riches of God’s Word. –Dr. Cornel Venema President and Professor of Doctrinal Studies at Mid-America Reformed Seminary ..................................
