Abundant Living: 364 Daily Devotions

Words from a man who loved God.

After nine years of recovery, and reading many different kinds of books on recovery, religion, spirituality, etc., I've come to many authors that I fully enjoy. E. Stanley Jones is one that I have found only recently, and am extreemly grateful that I was lead to his writings. He is an author that early member of AA read. I had been reading the "24 Hours a Day" book for about eight years, along with "Around the Year with Emmet Fox" for about five years. Switched this spring to two different Jones books, this one, and "The Way". One in the morning, one at night. The way things are questioned, analyzed and explained help me to get a clearer picture and understanding of God, other people, and the Laws of the Universe. Many other great books out there that can help an individual to a better understanding. And that's what it's all about, right?. A better understanding to live a more comforable, useful, sane, sober Life.

Excellent Meditation & Prayer companion.Sometimes, he "drives me nuts" when he gets on a week-long topic.Sometimes, it's just not the "right" topic.Other times, it actually IS exactly what I need, but my stubbornness just doesn't "want" to be annoyed with the truth.Either way, it's still perfect. Best Meditation companion I have found, so far!

I own nine volumes of Brother Stanley's works. Abundant Living is my favorite (followed closely by How to be a Transformed Person)! I own this book in one of the earlier editions as well as Kindle edition. I always find something formative and inspiring every time I open Abundant Living. I would recommend this book for anyone; I consider it a timeless Christian classic. Brother Stanley's insight rings true even today!

This daily devotional has had a tremendous impact on our lives. Although this book was written before my husband and I were born, the mini-sermons have much to say about living an authentic Christian life. We look forward to each day's reading, and are continually surprised of how pertinent the messages are for the concerns, issues, and spiritual questions that we face from day-to-day. The prayers offered as guidelines are powerful,while the Christ-like manner in which this book is written compels both of us to live up to our Lord and Saviour's example. We gave our first book to my husband's mother who so appreciated the devotional when she came to visit; thankfully we received our second copy so quickly from Amazon!

I am half way through this book and every page has blessed me so much and taught me great truths. It seems like this man was years ahead of his time. But his understanding of our need as Christians for spiritual growth is so easy to understand. Someone else who wrote a review on here said that "he leads you step by step" and that is exactly how I feel as I read each page. I would love to start a group where we could read and study this book for a year and grow together while we learned. It is a book that I will continue to read each year. It is a blessing.

This version does cut out some of the recommended Bible verses that accompany the readings each day. They are removed in the interest of including a single Bible verses at the top in its entirety. Just be aware some updates and changes have been made from the original book and this one can be a little watered down on certain days of the year when they did a little "too much" editing.

This book is an Exceptional Devotional to help a person understand the Bibleand how we are Designed as Christian Beings!!Read page January 21, and see his Illustration of how we Need to hold ontoChrist , a Living Branch of Life, and not some weak Dead branch of Religion or Customor Minister of some strange Ideas!GOD BLESS !!Dan Horon

Fantastic book.

This book arrived in great condition and is a great blessing to add to my Bible studies. I love how it has a set focus each day that is scripture based and accompanied by verses pertaining to the topic at hand. It also has a prayer at the end of each daily devotion which I find suitable to my own way of learning and growing in the WORD.

Sorry to come to the end of this devotional. E Stanley Jones has been such a big part of my mornings for the last couple years with this book and Victorious Living. It is excellent!

It's is awesome book ! Gives really great insight and understand of Gods will.
