Heart of the Matter will be your next treasure. Use it to begin each day with inspiration based on Scripture, free from psychological jargon, and encourage the people around you.
"Reading Heart of the Matter is doing Psalm 121. You read the pages and your eyes are lifted away from self toward God, seated on his throne in all of his glory. Your day is reoriented. Independence melts away as you look to the one who made the heavens and the earth; to him who stands firm and faithful, dependable, and trustworthy. It will point you to the loving Father who keeps you, both now and forevermore."
Jack Delk, Pastor for Covenant Member Care, Bethlehem Baptist Church
"The daily reflections gathered in Heart of the Matter offer the reader the opportunity to anchor his or her life in the profound truths of the gospel. The result is a deepening experience of the far-reaching effects of God's redemptive work for all of life. These brief, practical insights will bring the gospel to bear on your emotions, thoughts, actions, and relationships in new and refreshing ways. In this devotional, CCEF provides readers with a clear path to rich, consistent gospel application."

"This devotional is a treasure. Using it, we can begin each day with a crucial word of inspiration based on a portion of the Scripture, articulated by a proven team of sure-footed guides. Free from theological or psychological jargon, its simplicity is deceptive, taking us from the challenges of daily life into the very heart of our covenant relationship with the Lord God."
William Edgar, DrTheol, Professor of Apologetics, Westminster Theological Seminary; author of Truth in All Its Glory
"If you've ever enjoyed a book by Paul Tripp, Ed Welch, or one of the other CCEF authors then you already know the words they share are water for a thirsty soul. Heart of the Matter, a devotional drawn from the practical biblical wisdom of these authors, is an ocean of encouragement packed into a palm-sized devotional. The short, daily reflections draw you into God's Word, help you understand how to apply its truth, and leave you marveling day after day over the grace of God. You won't find a better resource to help you apply God's Word and water your soul."
Marty Machowski, Family Pastor, Covenant Fellowship; author of Long Story Short, Old Story New, The Gospel Story Bible, and the Gospel Story for Kids curriculum

This is a brief but thought provoking devtional.
Awesome devotional - highly recommend it!!
I liked it so much I purchased seven more of them. Five for the guys in my discipleship group, one for a soldier in Afghanistan with whom I correspond and one for a dear friend who is dying of cancer. It has spoken grace to all of them in their own context.
I love this devotional. It speaks to me every time I open it. Sometimes I get the date wrong yet it is always relevant. It is practical and always glorifies God.
I use this every day and love it.
I had received this devotional as a gift and have appreciated each and every days inspiration, encouragement, insight, and spiritual Biblical wisdom!
Short and directly to the point each day. Challenges you with The Word in ways that focuses on heart issues and helps you apply God's principles to your daily living.
These little devotionals are prefect for a short read and something in depth to think on concerning heart issues. Not just a little feel good thing, or a little reminder of things, but a look at what might really be going on inside of a person that can be changed by God's grace. Plan to get more for my kids!
I truly have enjoyed this daily devotional it helped we keep my eyes on Jesus. To realize how close I need to be to him. How much closer I need to Be to my Lord.
This is an amazing Christian devotional book. It touches the heart and ignites the soul. I can't wait to read it and meditate on the thoughts/prayers in it. It is biblical and so encouraging!
