Pas The Day, 365 Daily Devotional Journal

Morning and Evening. My Utmost for His Highest. Our Daily Bread. For millions of Christians these little books and others like them start or end their day with Jesus. Many of us need a voice, could use a friendly hand, or want a compass to guide us into the presence of Jesus day by day. Dr. Ralph D. West Sr., affectionately known as Pas, offers the church in Pas the Day: Go West a worthy new addition to this short shelf of truly helpful daily devotional books. As one would expect, this volume presents a biblical, pastoral, and intimately personal collection of daily readings for 365 days of daily encounters with the Eternal. Just as in his preaching, Dr. West stays thoroughly true to the biblical text in each of these. In these times, when so much Christian expression lacks direct biblical authority, this book anchors itself in the text of the Word of God. Yet this daily guide also rings true to the pastoral voice of Dr. West. Although he pastors thousands of persons, his sheep know the shepherd s voice one by one. Many have noted the extravagant gift granted by grace to Dr. West to embrace a large flock with such an individual interest in each member. His compassionate pastoral spirit gives evidence in each of these daily readings. Indeed, they are personal words from the pastor for his people and for others beyond his own membership. Even though these words come from the eternal, they find a place in our very times. Dr. West brings the past biblical revelation into close contact with your daily personal situation. Expect to be surprised by how often the reading for a specific day will fit the contours of your need for that day. These readings have the echo of the eternal in the midst of the very contemporary. The privilege belongs to me to know Dr. West as well as I know any contemporary preacher. I am aware of the intense interest he brings to the text, the personal compassion he has for the flock, and the universal admiration he has among his peers in the Christian ministry. This book will outlast our times, and when the western sun sets, it will still be blessing generations to come. Meet God in the morning with this book. Close your eyes at night with this book. Hand this book to a friend who needs a fresh word. You will help them as they Pas the Day.
