"Like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow in respect to salvation." 1 Peter 2:2

It's a fact of life: our health declines if we don't nourish our bodies every day with food and water. That's true physically. It's true spiritually as well.

If we neglect to regularly feed our souls on the Holy Scriptures, our faith becomes weak and we start to lose touch with our Savior. Growth is stifled... if it happens at all.

Drawing Near, used daily in combination with God's Holy Word, can not only help bring you closer to God but also keep you from spiritual stagnation. This book will guide you in a growing relationship with Him.

As Pastor MacArthur says in his Introduction: "Our entertainment-conscious, quick-fix, fast-food society does everything it can to divert us from setting aside time to study God's Word. As you well know from your own efforts, Bible study is not often entertaining―it's hard work. It takes discipline to set aside time each day to reap the benefits such study has to offer. If you reach an impasse when it's time to sit down, open your Bible, and try to decide what to do, you're not alone. Without some plan to follow, it's easy to become frustrated and eventually give up after only one or two days. That's where this book comes in."

If you desire greater understanding of the precious Word of God, if you want a daily guide to draw you closer to the Lord, this outstanding collections of 365 devotional readings by one of America's most respected and trusted Bible teachers is for you!

Title: Inspiring and Deepening Daily Devotion
Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐This book has been a transformative resource in my spiritual journey. Rooted in solid biblical teaching, each devotion encourages a deeper walk with Christ, aligning beautifully with Reformed theology. It consistently draws me closer to Jesus as Lord and Savior, reminding me of His grace and sovereignty. A must-read for those seeking to grow in faith and understanding!

Title: This is one of if not the best daily devotional I have had.
Review: This devotional is directed towards reading the Bible. Everything in this book is backed up by scripture and it tells you where to find the scripture in the bible that backs up what the book says. If you read this book a long with all of the scripture references and extra studies you will have read the complete bible by the time you finish this devotional. Reading this devotional along with reading the actual scripture is like reading the Bible and getting a mini sermon helping to explain what the scripture just said. I highly recommend this devotional.

Title: great devotional
Review: One of the best daily devotional book I have ever read. I just finished the year and learned so my more about the Bible and God in a personal way. Love the daily suggested bible verses to further understand each day’s message. Great investment.

Title: good inspiration and understanding on how to appy scripture to life
Review: I really like this book as it is set up for the reader to read a page a day. There is a scripture at the top, and then further discussion on how it applies to common life today. Its really inspiring and thought provoking. If you have more time on any given day, further scripture is listed for you to look up in your own Bible to read further on this topic. Even if I know I only have a little bit of time before rushing off into my day, I know I can just read the one page, but if I have more time, I can take it deeper and pray over what the topic is covering. Very helpful to me, as it fits my schedule, and makes me think deeper into scripture and know just how to apply it to my day each morning.

Title: Love the Daily Devotions
Review: Each daily devotional is based on a scripture, with accompanying thoughts by John MacArthur, a very clear Bible teacher. Plus, there is a prayer suggestion based on the scripture as well as a final reference to other scriptures to consider reading that are related to the daily one. I have found greater meaning from the scriptures by following these daily devotionals.

Title: Biblical teachings and exhortations for the Christian.
Review: Great devotional by pastor MacArthur. He selects the texts and gives us a short teaching about the passage and an exhortation to live the Christian life to the glory of our great God. This is an excellent biblical source to begin the day.

Title: One of the best devotionals on the market
Review: One of the best devotionals on the market. This wonderful book can be used in family worship time, during individual worship and devotions, also, in individual, as well as group topical Bible Studies. This book is written so that a new believer can study it, yet, not so simple that a mature believer cannot grow while studying the lessons. John MacArthur really outdid himself with this little Jewell. The book also has excellent topical and Scripture indexes in the back. What a value, spiritually as well as $$.

Title:
Review: John Macarthur is a true man of God. His teachings are based strictly on the Word of God and he preaches and teaches the true faith, not the garbage that the Word of Faith preachers preach. He teaches about humility, brokeness, repentance, holiness, purity of heart, true worship, sacrifice, sacrificial love and unselfishness, just as Jesus taught.With this daily devotional a Christian can grow in the true faith and knowledge of Jesus Christ our Lord and I would recommend it to anyone seeking the real truth of Scripture. We must find the door that leads to salvation and the narrow road we have to walk if we want a fulfilling honest Spirit filled life with the Saviour.
