This softcover devotional book was written by the much-beloved minister of the gospel, Billy Graham. It was originally published 25 years ago & has now been brought back into print for a new generation of readers.
Featuring 365 daily readings, this book offers an inspiring collection of comforting thoughts from one of the world's best known & most beloved evangelists. Written in Graham's easy-to-read style, Unto the Hills, draws on the spiritual insights that come from the author's lifetime of Bible study & worldwide ministry.
For anyone that has a busy life, this type of book makes it a lot simpler to read, and apply to everyday life. The language that is used is down to earth and simple to understand.
The devotional helps to put things in another point of view, with clear and direct language like knowing when to turn the other cheek, or when to step in and take over, or when to be alone and let God lead the way.
The Devotionals are listed by date because it is easy to follow and you can pick this book up at any time and start reading. When the book arrived in the latter part of 2010, I read the last half of the book straight through and was impressed by this gifted author.
I especially like the daily short story or reference in life today found on each page about a topic (drawn from Billy's own experiences) followed by the way each the story relates to Biblical truth and to our daily lives, concluding with a prayer.
This is a great devotional! It gives you a snippet of faith each day. Billy Graham has a way of making one think, ponder and reflect, then savor the beauty of God's word. I highly recommend this devotional, to get oneself into the practice of faith, hearing the word of God.
I think this book makes an amazing gift for anyone looking for inspiration, encouragement with renewed hope and faith.
My thanks to Thomas Nelson publishers for providing Unto the Hills by Billy Graham for review. I'm excited to have this book for the New Year.
