My Story
It was a Wednesday in January for me. The year was 1979. I was on the 17th day of my New Year commitment to read through the Bible. God spoke to my heart from His Word that morning in a direct and specific answer to prayer – a prayer I had brought before the Lord many times over many months. My marriage, health, and family were good, and my ministry experienced God’s blessing. But I needed a spiritual reset.
​
Oswald Chambers’ My Utmost for His Highest “golden book” of selected devotions was among a handful of old books given to me by a ministry friend. I chose to use this beloved old red hardback edition, published in 1935. Each day, I read his comments after reading God’s Word, making notes, and even journaling my prayers and God’s answers. My soul rebooted that Wednesday in January 1979. It would not be the last time the Lord reset my spiritual compass. And the Lord has also used several select devotional books as tools for such a purpose.

Just such a man wrote this book. Dr. Edsel Bone is uniquely equipped to do just that. He combines the shepherd heart of a godly veteran pastor with the gifted mind of a lifelong student of the Word of God.
