The Buzz:

I remember the summer my sister and I spent with my granduncle and aunt. Both were well advanced in age and not having had any children of their own made our time there pass really slowly. Thankfully one afternoon I discovered a chest filled with little inspirational magazines. Being the teen I was, the magazines looked nothing like a fun read but considering I had nothing else to do that afternoon, I decided to give one magazine a try. I'm glad I did because that's where my love for Guideposts began.

Guideposts is a resource vault rich with personal stories and testimonies of hope, inspirational strength, courage and faith. I can personally testify about how I have been blessed and encouraged in my faith walk because of the wonderful stories I've read by wonderful men and women like Sue Monk Kidd.
Their catch phrase "A little inspiration…it can change your day, even your life" has proven to be true not just in my life but in the lives of many, like my Mother.


E.B. Mommy's Report:

Two years ago, my mother's friend blessed her with a Daily Guideposts Devotional for the year. My mother was encouraged and strengthened in her faith as she went through the same, diligently through the year. She was naturally thrilled when she received the 2010 Devotional for her birthday as she'd now made the Devotions a part of her daily "quiet time" with the LORD. I know she will be excited to learn that I will be saving the 35th anniversary edition, the Daily Guideposts 2011 Devotional just for her.


The 2011 theme is "Growing In Love".
How apt.
1 Corinthians 13:13 says "And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love."
As Christians we sometimes tend to enjoy being in our comfortable territories and as long as no hair is ruffled on our heads, we're oblivious to the anything else around us. But honestly that's so far from what Christ would want our lives to reflect and this is a wonderful devotional to encourage us in our love towards family members, friends, co-workers and even the strangers that cross our path.

Each devotion for the day includes:
• A short Scripture verse for reflection
• A true, first-person story, told in a conversational style
• A brief prayer to help put the day's message to work in you

At the end of each month is included two pages of "Notes" listing out dates for that month, that you can use to jot down a thought, reflection or verse that may have encouraged you for each specific day.

This Devotional may be used for personal encouragement in your daily "quiet time", for married couples, families or even as a Bible study tool for house prayer groups.
