From what I understand, each reading is an excerpt from either a sermon delivered or article written by Billy Graham. The overarching theme of the book is the Lord Jesus. I cannot experience externally what I don't have internally. How is my relationship with the Lord of the Universe? Do I have one with Him? Each day, life in general, comes down to a relationship with Jesus. It truly is all about Him. When I come into fellowship with the Lord who saves, life does become more abundant. His purpose becomes my purpose, what He wants I want, and this earth will truly be seen as a temporary journey. Jesus has what we want...why do we continue to resist him? Read this book for a refresher to return us to the correct path we may have strayed from.

Billy Graham, the most renowned evangelist in the world who has preached to more people on earth then any other man in history would say, "Loneliness is one of the greatest problems people face. We can be in a crowd, we can be at a party, and we can all of a sudden feel lonely. Do you know what that is? That is loneliness for God."
If you're a Christian - or at least don't take offense to Jesus - and want a quick daily spiritual reader, I highly recommend Breakfast with Billy Graham. Although I've read and reread it over the years, Breakfast with Billy Graham remains a dear, fresh source of inspiration.
