Strength for the Journey: Day-by-Day with Jesus

by Joseph M. Stowell

Strength for the Journey is spiritual nourishment for the day-to-day journey. The Christian life is a journey filled with mountaintops and valleys. As the Christian experiences the ups and downs of this walk, a common prayer is 'Lord, give me strength.' Joseph Stowell, former President of The Moody Bible Institute, presents this enriching devotional overflowing with spiritual challenges, thought-provoking questions, and keen biblical insights. Through six devotionals each week, and a Psalm for the seventh day, the reader's faith will be nourished and his spirit refreshed. As a gentle guide, Dr. Stowell spurs readers on to consistently turn to the Word of God for sustenance on this lifelong pilgrimage.

[Kpretzler]

The best devotional I've ever had! It's not a "feel-good" devotional, it challenges you daily and if you are up for the challenge, stretches and grows your faith. During the course of the year, you also read the entire book of Proverbs and most of Psalms. About once a week, your devotion for the day is a selections from Psalms. Perfect way to start your day!
