The purpose of this attractive and profusely illustrated book is to persuade all believers to have a daily devotional Quiet Time each day when they read their Bible and pray.

 

Setting aside a regular time each day to read God’s Word and have a time of prayer is one of the most valuable disciplines for any Christian if they are to have a closer walk with their Saviour.

 

It is an indisputable fact that those who develop this routine become stronger Christians, have a deeper faith, are less liable to succumb to temptation, are more likely to make the right decisions in life, and they will persevere to the end in their Christian walk. In so doing they will lead happier, contented and more fulfilled lives. That being the case all Christians should surely want to read their Bible on a daily basis.

 

The aim of this book is twofold: firstly to assist those who already have a quiet time to make it more profitable and productive, and secondly to persuade those who do not as yet have a regular time alone with God to embark on the rewarding and lifelong journey of discovering the glorious truths recorded in God’s Word.

SOME BOOK REVIEWS:

 

‘Sound advice is given on how to read the Bible … neither is prayer overlooked since this is part of the daily recommended routine. Having read this book for review purposes, it will be studied again so as to assimilate its many worthwhile points.’

British Church Newspaper

 

‘The subject is a vital and neglected one. The book is written by a wise layman in layman’s terms for laymen, precisely suitable for everyone.  The book is practical and gentle. It is suitable for all Christians of all ages and levels. The book is timely and could do a lot of good.’

English Churchman
