My Utmost for His Highest: Classic Language Paperback (A Daily Devotional with 366 Bible-Based Readings) (Authorized Oswald Chambers Publications)

What a wonderful devotional! Exceptional cover and printing! Love the classic version of this devotional.

This is one of the most thought provoking and inspirational devotionals I have ever owned. My husband was gifted a copy and immediately told me I needed to get a copy so we could do these devotionals on the same days to spark so really deep and meaniful conversations.

A staple of the Christian devotional library, every believer should read through this at least once. Dedicate a full year to it and like adding pebbles to a jar over time you will become full. Full of knowledge of God, grace, and good advice on what it means to be Christian on the journey.To be clear... It's not scripture, which should be a believers first location of wisdom and knowledge of God. But these short daily-devotionals will come alongside and encourage/challenge/inspire you.

Great book every one should read

There are books you read, and there are books that read you. My Utmost for His Highest is the latter. This well-worn work carried me through dark nights I thought might last forever.Forged in the desert heat of WWI, Oswald Chambers’ words carry the scent of blood and eternity—They speak the language of loss.Chambers ministered these words to soldiers stationed in Egypt. He knew the cost of human pain and the silence of unanswered questions. His words carry the weight of trenches, of tents, of young men shattered by war, and faith forged in the crucible.These pages aren’t coated in sentiment. They’re marked by suffering, by silence, by the kind of pain that steals your breath, and the kind of faith that keeps you breathing. These sermons, for many, were the bridge between life and death that carried soldiers into war.Not your typical fluff soft devotional. I didn’t open this book from a place of curiosity—I opened it from a place of survival. For me, it's been a field manual for the soul under fire.Chambers’ sermons rise off the page, into your story, weaving God's sovereignty into suffering. He doesn’t soothe your wounds—he speaks into them. He won’t hand you answers—he marks the map, hands you a compass, and sits beside you in the dark. He doesn’t solve your pain. He points the way back from it.When memory drags us back to raw moments of brokenness- where trauma and failure cut through the pulse of a person's life, Chambers reminds us that God and the glory He's called us to, are bigger than these moments. The wartime chaplain leads us through an intercession of the heart that is scripture. In the space of life between pages, we begin to feel the pulse of our risen Lord, who reminds us what it means to be stretched by God and made fit for his service.

I've been reading this daily devotional everyday for twenty years, and every day I'm blessed for learning more about my Lord and My Savior, Christ Jesus, amen.

Oswald Chambers still has living insight into the heart of the reader even after he has been gone since 1917. If the reader will ponder his writings it will not only reach the heart but change your life. This is imitation leather but it is supple with a comfort for the hand.

I like the original language. It is a bit more direct. His words motivate me daily to reflect and look inward to see if my spiritual walk is on target. I have purchased and given away so many copies. I have used this now for coming up on 9 years. Starts my day right.
