Come to the Waters with James Boice

I have it here in front of me on my desk - Come to the Waters: Daily Bible Devotions for Spiritual Refreshment, the year-long devotional that takes you through the Bible, from the writings of James Montgomery Boice. And wait a minute! Who is the editor of this distinguished compilation? Why, it's none other than D. Marion Clark!


Seriously, though, I think this devotional fills an overdue gap in the genre. Think about it, what year-long devotionals can you name off the top of your head? Someone is thinking of Spurgeon's Morning and Evening. Somebody else just named Oswald Chamber's My Utmost for His Highest. Now there is a pause. Maybe someone can think of another, but nothing to match those two in reputation. I think this will take its place next to them on the devotional bookshelf. I've taken selections from most of Boice's writings, including unpublished material, so that all but four books of the Bible are covered by an entry. And you yourself can judge the quality of the material. But if you have already read or heard Boice, you know what to expect.
