This volume of daily devotionals from the Gospels was written by musician John Michael Talbot and includes readings for approximately four months. Talbot carries over in Reflections the message of deep faith and obedience that has characterized his own life on the path of radical Christian living. As his music speaks to the soul's longings, so his clear spiritual writing challenges us to follow Christ all the way. "Do we just listen to the word of God, or do we really allow God to transform our entire life?" "If we want to change the world, we must first change ourselves." How? If we want great things to happen in our life, we must choose to ascend the mountain and pray.
Though some theological statements may seem too general, the author's spiri tual insights are refreshing, honest, and based on his personal walk with God.
Some messages are directed at the author's own church (Catholic), but are applicable to all. This is one of the finest daily devotional books this writer has had the privilege of studying. Almost every page contains a sparkling gem of spiritual truth. "Without the eyes of faith the natural world remains mundane and dreary, but with the eyes of faith all the world is daily renewed in the supernatural miracle of Christ! Without the eyes of faith we cannot perceive the miracle!"
