Dwelling in His Presence

This is my first review for NavPress, a company that publishes some phenomenal material every year. When I saw NavPress had a Cynthia Heald book available for review, I jumped at the opportunity to get my hands on it. I haven't read a great deal of Heald's work, but everything I've read so far has been outstanding. This work is just a simple devotional, but it was very well done.

Dwelling in His Presence is designed as a thirty-day devotional; each day includes Scripture on which to meditate, a life-story or illustration, several thought-provoking questions, and finally some insight from heroes of the faith as well as a closing prayer. The phrases included from heroes of the faith (such as C.S. Lewis, Andrew Murray, Charles Spurgeon and the like) were so very encouraging and humbling. I hope that by going through this devotional the reader will be exposed to such people and their writings and further explore the amazing influence they have had on believers throughout the world.

The devotions are not by any means long or lengthy and so it is possible to add this book into your usual time with the Lord. And while it claims itself as "A Devotional for Today's Woman", I don't remember anything that would preclude men from enjoying the devotionals as while. Undoubtedly, there is a slightly feminine slant, simply because of the flowers on the cover and the fact that a woman was the author, but the truths are still real and relevant. I highly recommend this short devotional for anyone.
