“Graham Joseph Hill’s book of devotionals is a refreshing well of rediscovery into the Bible. No topic is overlooked here; from the depth of sin to the absurdity of God’s grace freely given, serious treatment has been given to the overarching themes of the Christian faith. Surprising little details we may have overlooked have been captured brilliantly. This is a stellar contribution to what will no doubt be a series of devotionals that will impact a generation of believers with the awe, hope, and promise of God and his Word.”
