Step by Step John Eddison

Daily Devotions for the whole family. For all who have begun with Genesis 1 on January 1st and found themselves hopelessly behind weeks, or even days, later - or for those who have a desire to read the Bible regularly but don't know where to start - here is the perfect way to begin, or renew, the practice of daily Bible reading. Step by Step takes readers through an entire year of learning more about who God is and how we are called to follow him. Each day's reading includes biblical texts, selected by theme, along with a short section explaining and applying the truths from the Bible and a prayer. Readers need only bring open hearts and minds to their daily time with God. Eddison's notes are warm, personal, practical and encouraging. They draw examples and illustrations from history and from everyday life with the goal of encouraging Christians to live in obedience to Christ. The best commentary on Scripture, Eddison says in his Foreword, is Scripture itself. A particular strength of presenting Bible passages in this way is that readers can appreciate the larger biblical themes and God's consistency and faithfulness throughout salvation history. Readers will see God's unchanging message from the Old Testament to the New and his promises from Genesis all the way through to their ultimate fulfilment in Revelation. Perhaps now more than at any other time, Christians are bombarded at every turn with messages that seek to turn them from the costly path of obedience to Christ. Eddison's desire is to see Christians everywhere strengthened, through daily time with God and in his Word, to run the race with perseverance.
