My Utmost for His Highest Review

My Utmost for His Highest is the granddaddy of 20th century devotional books. I remember seeing a copy of Oswald Chambers' book on my dad's bookshelf, and I was given a copy of book in 1979 by my Sunday school teacher and Bible study group leader when I was a senior in high school attending a Bible church. It would make a great gift for any Christian you know who is looking to spend more time with God in His Word every day.

It is still a perennial favorite among Christian devotional books, and I think there are a number of reasons for this. First, Chambers wrote in a simple format: one verse from the Bible, followed by one page of devotional writing. This simple format makes My Utmost for His Highest very easy to use and to keep up with. The second reason this book continues to be a favorite is that Chambers writes simply, forcefully, and practically. There is also a directness and power in Chambers' words that touches his readers.

For these reasons, My Utmost for His Highest has become a classic. Anything that encourages people to read their Bibles, reflect on God's Word, and attempt to live by it is a very good thing. However, such devotional books are, ultimately, very limited. Scripture is meant to be read in its entire context, and not chopped up into single verses. Reading My Utmost for His Highest has benefited me, but as I've gotten older it always leaves me wanting something that goes more deeply and broadly into Scripture.

Having said all this, I'm truly thankful that Chambers doesn't sugarcoat the Christian life but clearly communicates that it is a difficult one. For the kind of simple, daily devotional that it is, My Utmost for His Highest will always remain a classic.

My Utmost for His Highest Specifications

Oswald Chambers, a Scotsman who converted to Christianity in his teens under the ministry of Charles Spurgeon, has been affecting Christians with his devotional words since My Utmost for His Highest was first published in 1935. This acknowledged classic contains 365 daily readings that take heady doctrine and make it practical, realistic, and intensely personal. With humor and humility, Chambers speaks plainly to the common man struggling with devotion to Christ in daily living. Worldly cares and self-serving desires begin to lose their appeal as Chambers aides the reader in transforming his mind by viewing life through the instruction of God's Word. Richard Halverson, former chaplain of the United States Senate, attests to this: "no book except the Bible has influenced my walk with Christ at such deep maturing levels." This is Chambers's chief desire, directing the reader to "shut out every other consideration and keep yourself before God for this one thing only--My Utmost for His Highest... determined to be absolutely and entirely for Him and for Him alone." --Jill Heatherly

Best Journal Ever - Mary P. Martin -
Going through this wonderful book/journal is a most rewarding and spiritual experience. My husband and I have used this for years and have given it as gifts many times. This particular edition is the best presentation in cover and material yet to be published. It is timeless as it does not pertain to any certain year, just to the dates in each month page for page. Plenty of room for journaling notes also. I highly recommend this.

I apperently was wrong at first - Christoper D. Puksta -
At first I didn't understand the book. Then I grew mentally and later I felt bad after i read it can considered the book condeming without grace. Then after some spirutal growth I have come to realize that there are indeed many faults in my life and Chambers convicted me on them all!! And I realize my need for the grace of christ more so than ever before!!

Best Devotional Book Ever - Levine Bowen - Florida
Oswald Chambers's devotional book has been my guidepost for over 50 years. I bought this edition to pass on to a young friend who is seeking her bachelor's degree in theology. This book has opened my eyes to God's truths so many times, lifting me out of some doubts and despair along the way, giving me inspiration to do my best. I highly recommend it for any age reader who is seeking a better life and one that is enforced with strength and leadership.
