My Utmost for His Highest: Updated Language Paperback

I was surprised when it arrived — it’s noticeably smaller than I expected. But that turned out to be a good thing. It’s the perfect size to throw in a bag for trips, keep on the kitchen table for morning reading, or leave on the nightstand.The binding is a beautiful dark green (I thought it was black from the photos), and the silver gilded pages give it a nice touch. Several friends saw it and immediately said they loved this book too.What I appreciate most is that it’s short, direct, raw, and to the point — no fluff or gimmicks. Just powerful daily truth from Oswald Chambers. Exactly the kind of devotional I actually use and enjoy every day.Highly recommend.

I love Oswald Chambers books. This updated language makes it so much easier to read and understand. It is my favorite devotion book. His insight into a relationship with Jesus and the Bible is life changing.

This is the best devotional I have ever used. His ability to help the reader understand the the ways of truly being able to follow Christ is unmatched. The most inspirational and transformational devotional for all generations.

What wonderful lessons to study and meditate on. Pure truth, and he doesn't pull his punches! I had to buy a second copy for a dearly friend.

Truly an outstanding devotion book for everyday in the year. Some are hard to digest but they really get you to measure your faith. Highly recommended.

Great book, keeps you focused, read it daily.

This classic devotional gives us the insights of one who is far ahead of most of us in spiritual growth. His teachings are both encouraging and challenging us to continual growth in the spiritual life. I recommend it for anyone who is interested in growing spiritually.

I read this every morning. It is a great start for the day. It is very inspirational as it draws me closer to God.

Für mich persönlich, ist der Autor dieses Buches nicht Oswald Chambers sondern James Reimann, denn er hat hier seine eigene Gedanken geschrieben. Er meint, eine modernere Version des Buches von Chambers gemacht zu haben, aber für mich ist es leider nicht so. Viele tiefen Gedanken von Chambers sind ganz weg gelassen wurden, leider. Und die deutsche Übersetzung ist noch schlimmer, ich wiederhole, für mich. Die Übersetzerin, Marlies Stubenitzky, scheint der Einzig, Wahrer, Lebendiger GOTT überhaupt nicht zu kennen. Denn sie meint, ER hat uns "aus Freundlichkeit errettet" und nicht AUS GNADE, wie es in Epheser 2:8-9 ganz deutlich steht, und auch in vielen anderen biblische Texte. Es ist schade, dass viele Verlagshäuser -in die USA und andere englischsprachige Länder-, die Versionen in anderen Sprachen nicht kontrollieren. Deswegen die zwei Sterne. Ich empfehle, wenn möglich, die Bücher in der original Sprache zu lesen, und nicht fehlerhafte Übersetzungen oder sogennante revidierte Versionen, wie diese.

This was a real surprise! I can’t put into words how many blessings I received through this devocional! Truly, the best devocional ever!

I love the depth of his understanding of God's ways. It is inspiring and challenging, to live this way each day. Will re-read this often to "keep on track".

Good

I love the original version but misplaced it. Hence buying a replacement but felt kind of disappointed when I saw a little damage on the cover. See photo
