Review # 1 was written on 2008-11-23 00:00:00 Andres Bermudez I read it when I can in the evening. This is not a typical mushy coffee table devotional, not at all. In fact I usually have to read the short entries three times to grasp its meaning. There is so much to chew on with practically every word written. And it is not the easy stuff either- no fluffy emotions. This is testing of faith! No more fluffy good feelings but true inspiration for a radical life of faith.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-08-04 00:00:00 Glenn Arakaki The copy of My Utmost for His Highest that I have was originally given to my son as a graduation present by the youth pastor of our Church. He left home, went to college, got married and now has a son of his own. Oswald Chamber's classic sat on our shelf for many years, unread, unappreciated and gathering dust beside an equally neglected copy of the Complete Works of Shakespeare. It was only a few months ago when I was going down to visit him and his lovely wife and the uber grandson that I ran across MUHH again and decided to see if he wanted it back. As a result I started reading it and was glad when my son said he did not want it back. I am not sure I would give this book to teen agers. It is an acquired taste and requires a bit of effort to appreciate, but the diligent reader is more than compensated for the effort. As a result of reading MUFHH, I was introduced to the life and times of Oswald Chambers and his amazing ministry and his amazing and selfless stenographer wife, Biddy. Biddy is the one who is responsible for the compilation and publication of MUFHH and all of Chambers over fifty published works. I will never be finished reading MUFHH because I am always dipping into it and every time I do, I always find a fresh insight about what it means to be a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ. In case someone may not know, MUFHH is a daily devotional that Biddy culled from her voluminous shorthand notes. All of Chamber's works (and his life) can be summed up in this phrase, "Jesus always, Jesus only."
