“One of the key aspects of the Christian life is Discipleship. And Discipleship requires personal piety. And personal piety is fed by devotion. And devotion is aided by this little book by Brian Albert. Many Christians neglect their personal time with God and this volume is a wonderful aid to restoring that time with God to a place of importance. Wise, helpful, and filled with spiritual truth, Brian’s book will help you to re-establish, or establish for the first time, a devotional life worthy of the name.”
