Through the Year with JB Phillips

'What we need to recover is the conviction that God is not merely kindly disposed towards us, but that he is love. Some theology will not allow us to enjoy this beautiful simplicity... Consequently we are often told that God's love is not to be imagined in terms of human love, that it is higher, deeper, truer, and sterner. If we are not very much on our guard, we shall be cheated of the Good News. The inestimable comfort of knowing that God is love will be whisked away...'

This book is a compilation of Bible-based thoughts for every day of the year from the writings of JB Phillips, one of the twentieth century's foremost popular Bible communicators.
