Rick breaks down the meaning of Greek words as I've never seen it before. His anecdotes come from his time in the former Soviet Union as well as other life experiences. I use this devotional daily, in addition to Bible study, and it speaks to me constantly, as well as providing words of wisdom to share with others. If you want surface level feel-good stuff, there are plenty of others who will give that to you now. If you are serious about dying to self and living for the Lord, you should get this book... now. PS- Have your highlighter ready, and start over after 12 months. Like pressing grapes, you'll never get it all on the first squeeze! I'm getting them for my kids and friends.

On the very first day I received this (Daily Devotional and Biblical Teaching book) I opened to the current date and immediately while reading the study for that day I received a "REVELATION OF KNOWLEDGE" that I had been seeking !!! Coincidence ? I think not

Perhaps THE best daily devotional book around (except for Rick Renner's Volume 2!). So much helpful information and inspiration with wit and godly wisdom interwoven.

I decided to ask for this book for my birthday because I had heard the author on TV, and because I study the Bible for teaching and writing purposes, as well as my own spiritual deepening. I thought it would be illuminating to know the meanings of the Greek words, and I was impressed by Rick Renner's pastor-heart. Having used the book for a couple of months, I can say that it is worth every cent paid for it. These devotionals are written in an easy, conversational manner that anybody can understand, and starting every day this way, in God's Word, is the most strengthening exercise I can recommend. I have enjoyed the stories from history, from which the Greek word meanings were derived, the written "Prayer for Today", "My Confession for Today" and the questions at the end of each reading. Renner's teaching is practical and encouraging. The only down-side is that it is a large, heavy book, and not easy to travel with. But I have done so, it meant that much to have it with me. Like the picture of sparkling gems on the cover, this book delivers the goods from the greatest of all Gems, the Word of God!Read full review
A devotional written by a man who has a deep knowledge of Greek and who knows God intimately, and his book reveals this. The book is divided into 365 daily readings, each one being just the right length, not too short (which most are) and not too long. Each day's reading begins with a topic and appropriate scripture from the New Testament, which was originally written in Greek. The author goes into great detail as he expands the meaning of the Greek words used in the scriptures, and also includes personal anecdotes (which are so interesting) and lots of encouragement for the reader (which we all need). At the very end of the day's reading are three questions to the reader to help him go deeper into the day's subject. The reader definitely comes away from the reading with a much deeper understanding of God's Word and how to apply it to his life. It's a wonderful book for not only personal use, but also would be a great gift. I highly recommend it!!!Read full review
