The national conference was a starting point of what might be a lifelong relationship of trust. I appreciate the solid, biblical content of the writers and speakers who are involved with CCEF.
"With this book you have the opportunity to Start a Year of Thoughtful Change. Change that goes deeper than the surface of our lives happens over the long haul as we dailyremember and connect the truths of the gospel to our lives. Every day we need to be re-minded—in different ways—that Jesus, God’s own Son, came to this world to save us from sin,sorrow, and death. The promises of God, which are all “yes” in Jesus, change the way we viewourselves, our circumstances, and other people."
Heart of the Matter gives a daily reminder of theselife-changing truths. Topics covered in the devotional include: love, hope, grace, redemption, faith, contentment, conflict, relationships, prayer, fear, patience, humility, and anger. I highly recommend this book for all who desire to learn wisdom, to learn how to talk to one's heart with Scripture, and to respond properly to the trials of life. The 366 selections, anchored in Scripture and saturated with the gospel,will help you to:
- Learn how God in his Word addresses a host of life situations
- Focus on how the gospel intersects with life
- Look beyond circumstances to God’s purposes
- See how God values relationship with his children
- Learn to value others by speaking truth in love, by not shying away from conflict, by for-giving, and by being patient and persistent
- Grow in wisdom when confronted by life’s changes
- Learn how God works change that is effective and visible
My heart has already been blessed by ccef. I know this devotional would continue to do just that.

I've always got my eyes open for new devotional material I am not familiar with CCEF material but trust the recommendations of Pastor John Banks and would love to have the opportunity to be entered into the drawing!
ReplyDeleteMy wife and I have three kids 5 & under with #4 due late December so time (and sleep) are at a premium. Mornings that don't go as planned or a more difficult day can make it a challenge to read and meditate. Though we need to grow in that through all our circumstances a good devotional can be a wonderful & blessed option for us. This one in particular sounds like it would be great in the midst of anything & everything life in this world brings. Thank you for the review above also thanks to NGP for supplying the copies!
ReplyDeletewould be enjoyable and beneficial
ReplyDeleteNot sure if the contest is over already, But I deserve a shot since I was the senior pastor who introduced you to CCEF!
