My Utmost For His Highest (Updated Version)
by Oswald Chambers

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."

Morning and Evening (Updated Version)
by Charles Spurgeon

For tens of thousands of Christians, Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Morning and Evening has been a daily devotional guide through life's ups and downs.  But as time has passed, younger generations, nurtured on contemporary versions of the Bible and less familiar with Spurgeon's beautiful but sometimes difficult prose of the nineteenth century, have needed a devotional guide that made sense to them, written in their language, using the Scripture with which they are familiar.  To that end, this new revised edition of Morning and Evening offers readers the best of the past–Spurgeon's insight and wise counsel—and the best of the present—the fresh, meaningful prose of the New International Version.
