Reader Comments:
Absolutely amazing in every way!
The only reason I could guess as to why certain people wouldn't be gripped spiritually by this book is because it doesn't speak to a worldly heart. Personally, I find the illustrations match the messages perfectly! Phil Smouse simplified Oswald Chambers original words in such an unexpectedly powerful way.
At first I convinced myself I was buying this book for my 6 month old grandson. He's going to get his own copy...I'm treasuring this one. In fact, I plan to buy several copies of this book just in case it ever goes out of print.
I still read the classic edition of "My Utmost for His Highest" written for adults and it too is awesome. Jesus did say we are to be child-like. Now I really understand what Matthew 18:3 (..."Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.") means!
Here's an example taken from July 23rd's devotion to 1 Corinthians 1:30 ("Of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God--and righteousness and sanctification and redemption."):
"Everything God has is mine. His goodness. His love. His holiness. His faith. Everything! He gave them all to me. Because I deserve it? No. Because He loves me."
Smouse is obviously gifted in his ability to express emotion through his artwork and to condense the deeply profound messages in the way he does cannot be done without God's Spirit.
