Ever Faithful by David Jeremiah

“Solid” is the word I’d use to describe this devotional, as it is biblical, reassuring, and challenging, appropriate for both new believers and those who have walked with the Lord for a long time. Most of these devotionals offer nothing particularly original--as that is hard to do--but Jeremiah’s insights are usually thought provoking. Of particular value, I thought, were the devotionals in December, which were a balance of aiming at those celebrating family and traditions with those who feel alienated at Christmas. Jeremiah shines in his compassion for and insight into those who struggle during the holidays. Overall, the tone of this book is one of care by a seasoned pastor who knows how to feed his sheep. I appreciated that it was not glib, self-impressed or trendy. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in a deeper personal walk with God. I received this book for free in exchange for my unbiased review through the Thomas Nelson BookSneeze Program.
