I want a devotional with meat on it. One that makes me think deeply about Christ. About my life. About what my heart, soul, and spirit should be spending time meditating on. There have been popular devotionals that others love, but I cannot seem to find any sort of depth in them. This one, however, may be small and some of the entries quite short, but nearly all of them make me think. They convict me of wrong thinking and actions. They remind me where my mind and heart should be focusing. And what really surprises me is how this was written so long ago and yet A Kempis faced the same issues we do. I guess I foolishly presume a man of God who lived centuries ago would not struggle with worldly distractions. He did not have technology. And yet he struggled. That's only one example. This is my daily go-to book. My only complaint is that it's not longer. That the shorter entries are as short as they are. This book makes me hungry for more wisdom. It brings things from Scripture that I know, but need the light shed in a way that re-illuminates the truth of Christ. I cannot recommend this highly enough.
