My personal copy of My Utmost for His Highest is a one year reading that took three to four years. Genre: Christian | Nonfiction (Adult) | Religion & Spiritualityįor the purposes of this review, I want to share. Thank you NetGalley and Our Daily Bread Publishing for accepting my request to read and review My Utmost for His Highest. This overall isn't a book that I'd purchase for myself or anyone else, as I believe there are far better ones already available, but it was good to dive into it and examine what it has to offer. The short readings are handy for getting a small dose of spiritual growth to ponder throughout the day, and there are great reminders throughout (like the repeated principal of waiting on God). I was really thrown for a loop when the author claimed that Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son was a mistake, which I'll reflect upon to see if I agree with, but my understanding of that story has always been basically not what the author is saying about it. The overall way in which the book is put together makes each day feel like being dropped into the middle of a conversation, rather than starting from a beginning I guess it's that, to me, the verses don't always seem to tie in well with the elaboration provided by the author. This daily devotional has inspired countless people to drink deeply from the biblical truths that Chambers so passionately championed.This is hard to review because some of the readings have great insight, but some have points so trivial that they came across almost as patronizing. The title is taken from a thought in one of his sermons: “Shut out every consideration and keep yourself before God for this one thing only-My Utmost for His Highest.”Ĭhambers was a man completely devoted to Christ, and his life and writings clearly portray that. His wife, Biddy, transcribed his lectures and sermons and compiled them into books, the most popular being My Utmost for His Highest. Oswald Chambers was a teacher and preacher whose messages cut to the heart of the gospel.

You’ll find 365 thought-provoking meditations in this classic-language, inexpensive paperback edition of “the golden book of Oswald Chambers.” My Utmost for His Highest will encourage and move you to think more deeply about your relationship with the Lord.
