Our God is no distant God. In the earliest days of the church, when His manifest presence was unleashed through the power of the Cross, He revealed Himself to believers in an amazing new way. The promise of the prophets and Jesus—that God would live with us—was being fulfilled. And lives were being changed. In The One Year God with Us Devotional, Chris Tiegreen writes with clarion insight as he calls us to share in the excitement and passion of the early believers. Through yearlong reflections on Acts, Revelation, and the New Testament letters, we witness God making Himself known more fully than ever before. And, in these daily reflections, we will experience Him deeply and completely ourselves.

Well, this is my second devotional by Chris Tiegreen.. It has became my daily food and companion during the year 2018!!! And, folks, this I want to say it clearly: It's a wonderful devotional, comforting and nourishing.. I recommend it to all my friends at goodreads!!! Every day a fresh encouragement from the Scriptures, full of vibrant and living heavenly power!!! And as I said, this is my second year with devotionals by Tiegreen, needless to say that for the year 2019 I've already a new devotional by Chris Tiegreen, and am very happy about it.. Dean;)))
At just one page per day, this is not a book that requires a huge time commitment. But each page gives some thoughts (in word) and some practical application (in deed), so there is always something to take away and ponder.
Comments from 2015: Chris Tiegreen has written other titles in a series of One Year devotionals. I received this one as a gift for Christmas and it was so good, I will have a difficult time selecting the next one by him.
So far, I'm happy with the conversational tone in which the author writes as he challenges me in my faith. His writing also proves to be scripturally sound. There's no fluff here, but neither is the writing too difficult to understand. For this Goldilocks, it's "just right."
