Endorsement written for Brave by Faith
Here is an ideal combination: one of today’s stand-out gospel communicators reflecting on the life, wisdom, and sheer guts of Daniel, one of yesterday’s outstanding heroes of the faith. With clarity and grace, courage is laid bare as one of our great needs today. 'Brave by Faith' is certain to challenge and encourage Christians of every age and at every stage in life. A book for our times!”
Endorsement written for Truth For Life - Volume 1
Here speaks a pastor who knows both his Bible and his people. He not only understands the Scriptures but lovingly applies them like medicine for the soul. These daily devotions will do that. They will help you get to know the Bible better and how it fits together. They will stretch your mind with deep, bracing theology expressed with accessible clarity. They will warm and nourish your heart because they breathe the beauty of Christ. I have been struck by the freshness and variety of the devotions, from every part of the Scriptures, and by the pastor’s heart that beats through them. There is rich nourishment here for the soul, the fruit of many years of mining the Scriptures and caring for people.
Endorsement written for Truth For Life - Volume 2
If you are looking for wise and perceptive guidance to help you see and experience the deep impact of God’s words in Scripture, you will love this devotional. Each day’s reflection is a gem, focusing the light of the chosen Scripture text onto our thinking, our affections and our behaviour. I cannot imagine it being read without benefit! (Commenting on Volume 1)
Endorsement written for Brave by Faith
In a time where Christians seem to be facing more hostility, the temptation might be to become angry or to hide. Neither responses are right, or God-glorifying. Begg takes the reader to some familiar chapters in the book of Daniel to help you see how amazing God is and the confidence that Christians can have because of Him.... continue reading
Endorsement written for Brave by Faith
You might find some of Begg's points to be the usual inspirational stuff. At first it feels like the usual spiritual encouragement you might have read in other books. However, as you continue to read Begg will give you clarity on who you are as a child of God and how powerful God can be despite tides rising against your faith. The part when Begg turns the discussion to discipleship and evangelism became the turning point of the book. This call into action is definitely a winner in this book.... continue reading
Endorsement written for Brave by Faith
Begg helps us see that the whole life of Daniel was one long act of obedience. Daniel is well over 30 years old when he meets Belshazzar, and Daniel was 80 years old when he was thrown into the lion’s den. We see that God calls us to faithfulness throughout the duration of our lives. Begg brings us to Christ, and we remember the tomb of Jesus where he was delivered from death.... continue reading
So delighted with this book.
Clear daily exposition of gospel truths written in such a way to support daily Bible reading with helpful articulation of application points. I found it so helpful that I bought another copy of Volume 1 as a Christmas gift and gifted myself a copy of volume 3.
I was given Book 2 as a present, I bought Book 1 for myself, and bought it again to give as a present. The daily reads are such concise, yet spiritual 'nuggets' which bless each day
I purchased this devotional as a high school graduation gift for my grandson. I leafed through it and read a few entries to see if it was appropriate for him. I was hooked after the first one I read. Now I will be ordering one for myself and other graduates in the future.
This is an excellent devotional, and a wonderful counterpart to my reading of the whole Bible in a year. It focuses the mind and heart every day on an aspect of God's truth and/or character, nourishes the spirit, and leads directly into prayer. Thank you, Alistair.
Very well thought out. I appreciate the citied scriptures throughout and the scripture at the bottom for further study. One thing that would be helpful is a bookmark that tells you what the 3 symbols mean, I forget then have to go back To the beginning of the book to remember what they mean.
I bought Truth for Life volume one last year to use for my devotional time, because I wanted something a little more "meaty". I found Truth For Life refreshing, challenging and deeply satisfying.
As a result, this year I bought Truth For Life Volume Two and I found that Alistair Begg has not taken his foot off the gas! It is just as fresh and challenging as the first book. In fact, just as before, God was speaking to me through Begg's words as well as the Scriptures. If I could give it 6 out of 5 stars, I would.
I was given this book in 2022, asked for Volume One in 2023, and bought Vol 2 for a friend in 2024. I am re-reading Volume Two again now in 2025. That is how beneficial I feel these devotions are. Very easy to read too. Thank you
Truth For Life - Alistair Begg
I am so happy that an imitation leather version of Truth for Life has been released. I have every edition of these devotionals and I thoroughly enjoy them.
I have also given many away as birthday gifts because I love it so much so to have the gift edition makes an even better gift as it is lovely to hold and makes the reading experience all the more pleasurable.
What sets this daily devotion apart from others is that at the bottom of every devotion you will see head, heart and hands.
These images are there so that after your time of reading you can ask yourself:
* How is God calling me to think differently?
* How is God reordering my heart's affections - what I love?
* What is God calling me to do as I go about my day today?
I love this feature as it encourages us to be doers of the word and not just hearers and I have found it creates good discussion when reading the devotional with someone else, it can be a great way to hold one another accountable.
I tend to read this devotional around lunchtime so that it doesn't interrupt my morning time in the word and I always want to encourage people not to replace their bible time with a devotional.
However this devotional is really helpful because after reading Begg's commentary on the verse for the day you will find there is an extra Bible passage next to the head heart and hands which compliments the reflection for the day.
There is also a reading plan at the bottom of each page to help you read through the whole Bible in a year. I find that this devotional is great because rather than it becoming your main source of spiritual food, it really encourages you to get into the Bible more.
Highly recommend for yourself or a friend!
I love Alistair's books. Quality man of God, quality, solid biblical teaching. Stayed the course!
This devotional no exception. Had his Vol 2 last year so wanted to get Vol 1 this year. Not disappointed.
And my confidence in Alastair has not wained despite current controversy, as I know the man's heart and stand on moral issues - much of current public criticism is unbalanced and out of context. Read his book Christian Manifesto to capture something of this man's heart.
I chose this as a Christmas present and am enjoying it very much. It gives you a truth to get your teeth into and mull over during the day. I love the cross-references which link passages in a way that I might not have thought of and the extra passage to read also throws more light on the topic under discussion. I'm not convinced it would work for a new Christian or someone who doesn't know the Bible very well and so may not understand the context of the verse or verses being explained and applied or the cross-references. But if you're reasonably familiar with the Bible and want to deepen your understanding, this book is really good.
