Rick Cornish, with his 100 essays, makes it easy for us to keep God’s Word on our hearts daily and gives us the tools to discuss the deep things of God.

I have found these readings to be clear, accurate, well-chosen, and personally stimulating, covering the topics appropriately. I highly recommend this book.
