"Trusting God with Today" by Charles F. Stanley is a masterpiece that effortlessly weaves together wisdom, faith, and practical guidance. As someone who appreciates literature that uplifts and inspires, I found this book to be a beacon of hope in the midst of life's uncertainties.

Dr. Stanley's writing style is not just articulate but also deeply resonant. He skillfully combines his vast spiritual knowledge with real-world examples, creating a tapestry of insights that is both relatable and transformative. From the opening pages to the closing words, I was captivated by his ability to distill complex spiritual concepts into accessible, everyday wisdom.

One of the book's strengths lies in its emphasis on living in the present moment. In a world often marred by anxieties about the future or regrets from the past, Dr. Stanley gently guides readers toward a mindset of trust and gratitude. His words serve as a reminder that, regardless of the challenges we face, there is a higher power at work, orchestrating our lives with a purpose far greater than we can comprehend.

What sets "Trusting God with Today" apart is its universal appeal. Dr. Stanley speaks to the human experience with a compassion that transcends religious boundaries. Regardless of one's faith background, the principles outlined in the book offer solace and guidance for navigating the complexities of life.

Moreover, I appreciate the ethical underpinning that runs throughout the book. Dr. Stanley advocates for trust not just in a divine plan but also in our capacity to make choices aligned with moral principles. This emphasis on personal responsibility and ethical living adds a layer of depth to the book, making it more than just a guide for spiritual growth but a compass for leading a meaningful and principled life.

In conclusion, "Trusting God with Today" is a book that speaks to the soul. Charles F. Stanley's unwavering commitment to promoting trust, hope, and ethical living makes this book a must-read for anyone seeking guidance in their journey through life. It's a timeless treasure that I believe will continue to inspire and uplift readers for generations to come.

Trusting God with Today is a 365-day daily devotional from pastor Dr. Charles Stanley with a verse and short devotion about learning to have faith and trust in the Lord in all circumstances.

While I have not read the whole devotional, I found it biblically sound, but it is a bit light for me. I was hoping for something with a bit more biblical substances, like some of his previous writings.

If your new to the faith, this would be a great daily read, but for me having read many devotionals and Bible studies, it left me wanting more.

This is a wonderful devotional. Each day has a bible verse, a brief reading and a prayer.
I ordered the hardback and the e-book version for myself and plan on ordering more as Christmas gifts.
I received a complimentary copy from Thomas Nelson and Zondervan Gift via NetGalley and was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Great Devotionals

Charles Stanley has written an outstanding book of devotionals. He has chosen a different topic for each day of the year, providing a scripture and a narrative discussing the topic chosen for that day.

Sometimes, when I need a lift, I may read a particular scripture provided for that day in addition one or more that I may be drawn to according to what current situation I may be going through.

The author has provided many excellent topics for, basically, every situation one may encounter. I highly recommend this book.

Charles Stanley and his legacy live on. I wasn't quite sure what to expect with this book but it was exactly what I needed. It is a wonderful daily devotional filled with Jesus and scripture. It was broken down simply, but I would say not for the beginning believer or reader. It could be, but I think it goes further in depth. While that is amazing for some, just a heads up. When life is busy and chaotic, this is the best way to break it down!

Absolutely wonderful, inspiring devotional by Charles Stanley – I can hear him speaking the words as I read each day’s devotional. Each day provides a short bible verse and an encouraging word from Dr. Stanley that makes for a exceptional way to start your day. The late Dr. Stanley was a gift and being able to enjoy his words is a gift as well. If you’re looking for a new devotional to start your new year, look no further. I'm grateful to have been given an opportunity to read and review an early copy of this book through NetGalley.

This is an enjoyable daily devotional written by the late Pastor Charles Stanley. A single page each day provides a short Bible verse along with a brief teaching and an encouraging word for the day.

It would make a perfect gift for anyone, or for yourself if you are looking for a new devotional for the new year.

This is a wonderful, encouraging devotional. Brief verse, mediation and a prayer on one page that are easy to read and process. Dr. Stanley never is preachy but helpful to one’s faith. Glad this is getting published, even though Dr. Stanley has gone to heaven.
