Description

Looking out at the world today, it can be easy for Christians to lose heart. The Apostle Paul evidently felt the same way. His remedy was to teach us not to focus on the things that are seen but on the things that are unseen. “For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal” (2 Cor. 4:18). Every day, we must reorient our thoughts around the unchanging truth of Christ: who He is and who we are in Him.

In this yearlong devotional, Dr. Sinclair Ferguson brings his signature warmth and wisdom to daily meditations on the Christian life. Each week’s reflections follow a theme to help Christians look to the Lord and live by faith.

Endorsements

"It is difficult to find the correct set of superlatives for these podcasts/devotionals now published as a book. Listening to them as they appeared each day was transformative. Dr. Ferguson has been a friend for more than forty years, but having him in the passenger seat each day as I drove to church was like a throwback to a time when we served together at the same church.

"These are much more than devotionals. They are a digest of biblical and systematic theology in bite-size pieces. Having these podcasts published in a book helps you see that a little clearer. I am tempted to ask, What should every Christian know about the Christian life? Answer: The contents of this book! I have read many devotionals that take you, day by day, through the year. This one exceeds them all. A triumphal achievement!"
—Dr. Derek W.H. Thomas

"Imagine spending a few minutes every day for a year with one of today's wisest senior saints. Sinclair Ferguson combines theological depth of insight with pastoral astuteness and a wonderful way with words to produce devotional supplies for a year's growth in Christ. Here is wisdom, light, and encouragement to bring to your daily life!"
—Dr. Michael Reeves
