What a splendid idea! The abundant riches of John Owen’s writings … in a form that is accessible and easy to absorb. 

Lee Gatiss has done us a great service in producing an accessible collection of bite–size chunks of the rich diet offered by Owen. By tracking Owen’s life this book provides a great introduction to Owen and his thought. But best of all it enables us to marvel afresh at our glorious Saviour.

It’s easy for readers to feel intimidated by the works of England’s greatest puritan theologian. But this new book shows how much of Owen’s writing has a devotional purpose  and,in daily readings of two or three paragraphs, allows readers to build theological stamina over time.

I pray these bite–sized morsels of devotions on the Word with John Owen as commentator, will help believers not only understand Owen, but through him, to know the Lord.
