Was given this as a daily devotional from a Sunday School teacher of mine. It’s a nice, quick daily dose that helps exercise the habit of daily Bible reading.

Timeless, Thoughtful, Prayerful, Biblical. Highly recommend to those seeking a closer walk with The Lord.

I’ve been wanting to read My Utmost for His Highest for a long time. It was a good read with lots of things to ponder and reflect on.

While this kept me in the word on the daily; i wasnt crazy about the format.

Chambers is a mixed bag. Sometimes he will let loose with a profundity that will leave you wide-eyed for hours, and sometimes his emphasis on moral heroism makes you wonder how a Pharisee like this ever got so famous among evangelicals. His style is also maddening; it can read like a college professor giving prepackaged notes to freshmen-- kind of an "I'll teach you idiots but I'm not happy about it" feel. Taken as a whole, I'm not much of a fan. There is enough clarity and force here that I can understand people coming back to him, but I think I'll steer clear in the future. There are enough great authors in the world that I won't starve for lack of Chambers's short declarative sentences.
On another note, the New King James is a good version.

A friend gave me this out-of-print book in mid-January.
She learned I was a serious Oswald Chambers fan. Each
day's reading has a paragraph by Chambers. The readings include OT, Psalms, Proverbs, and NT each day,
going straight through. This will be a good variety for
reading through the Bible this year.
Update 12/31/2010: I again read this Bible (almost). It will take me another week to finish, but I have completed the Oswald Chambers daily devotional readings.

Wonderful "read it through" Bible with daily inspirational messages that make you consider what you've read & put it to work in your life!

I have read through this Bible seven times, and just started my eight cycle. I have tried other daily devotional Bibles, but I always return to this one.
