Daily Guideposts 2014: A Spirit-Lifting Devotional

I subscribed to Daily Guideposts for years until it became available on Kindle. Now I purchase the kindle version. It is handy to take in a purse or tote bag. My kindle has all my daily reading in one "book". Daily Guideposts has a large selection of contributing writers. The writers are from many backgrounds mostly evangelical. Each day is varied, brief and inspirational experiences of the writer. I love the new addition of scriptures I can choose to read in addition to the devotion.In addendum: In late summer I began getting an error message that I needed to remove the copy of Guideposts and reload it from the Cloud. I tried this. After repeated message each day I called the tech department. Kudos to the techs. They worked almost every day for 3 weeks to correct this issue. We restarted, reloaded, reset the device, they finally removed the book entirely and gave me a new Kindle download free. After a day or two the same error message began to reappear. The tech had me change the font. This seemed to work but only on a daily basis. So, day after day, I reset the font to be able to read the devotion until the end of the year. I read a lot of other books and have not had an issue with any of them except this Guideposts 2014. Previous years worked just fine. I think it must be a formatting problem with this issue. Because of these frustrations I did not purchase a new Daily Guidepost 2015 Kindle version. After more than 30 years, I will miss all my writer friends and their encouragement.

I've always loved having the DAILY GUIDEPOSTS by my bedside for evening or morning reading. But now the Kindle edition makes it so much easier to read--no light needed. And I can take my Kindle with me and read a bit here and there. Those little bits are always uplifting and insightful.Almost every daily devotional has depth and personality. A few don't, but what's that among the 365? And it's my personal preferences. The index and the scripture references at the back of the book are great ideas--for the printed edition at least. They are not linked in this Kindle edition and thus one can't find the location. Next year, hm?A great selection of contributors, too. I always like the down-to-earth and heartfelt Patricia Lorenz and Karen Kuykendall. And from a male perspective, there are Brock Kidd and Jeff Japinga, as well as Rick Hamlin. But the women writers far outnumber the men. I guess that's the market!So just a few minutes on one reading a day, meditate, prayer, look up scriptures--and you'll be well outfitted for a more rewarding and closer-to-God day. Highly recommended.

I have been reading Daily Guideposts for many years. I paid about $20 for large print and with S&H but lost the book somewhere in my house so I went to Amazon.com and got it on my Kindle for a lot less. No S&H. Each day there is a message of inspiration from many different writers; old, young, male, female and from all walks of life. Each writer is featured in the back so you can become familiar with them, also. After all these years, I feel like I know each writer and am friends with each one. I would recommend this book for anyone. It only takes a few minutes to read the daily reading.

I began reading the Guideposts in 2012. I knew last year that I wanted to make reading the days' selections every day. The devotional readings are such a mood-lifting start to my day. If I'm having a hard time, am frustrated, or just "blah" the daily read never fails to lift me up (and many times to put me in my place). Can't forget that God is always there and always in control of thingswhen you read these stories. I will definitely buy Guideposts every year from now on.

I love my daily Guidepost 2014. I start my day reading it every day. I have enjoyed Guidepost for over 15 years. The writers are awesome , some of the writers have been part of Guidepost for as long has I have been reading it. You start your day was a scripture and a story that stays with you.These people have lived life, the ups and downs. The stories guide you thru the waters so they won't over take you and thru the fires so you will not be burned.

I have been reading Daily Guideposts for years and the quality of this version is just as wonderful as always. However, as a Kindle Book, it is the only book that I have ever had to continually have get stuck on a page, have to return it to the cloud, and re download it. This is of particular inconvenience when we are out of town and away from my home wifi. I hope that glitch is fixed in the 2015 version.

I found it really good and look forward to it every morning. Today however instead of going on to todays date I had to go back to find Sunday and that surprised me as it wouod come up correctly each morning. This is the first time it didn't. but no big problem.I find I do most of my emails on it and ran it down to 5% tonite so it is on the charger. I am very pleased with it.My only complaint is -- I purchased a Canon camera for $66 and it arrived yesterday and since I have bad eyes I could not read the tiny print so will have to have someone do that for me. My big surprise came when I found it did not have a memory card in it and felt it should have one to start off with. So it looks like I willl have to go to Best Buy tomorrow and buy one.

I have bought or been given Daily Guideposts every year for years. I look forward to reading it every day to lift my spirits and set aside some quiet time to thank God for all my blessings! Maybe it has to do with the place I am at in my life but the 2014 book has not been as good of a fit for me as usual. It is still a "must have" for me :-)

This is very useful for when I am travelling as the hard copy is very heavey to carry especially on a plane. The contents I am very familiar with so am very pleased that I could acess it in Kindle format.
