In 1997, Atlanta businessman Os Hillman began writing a daily e-mail devotional featuring 4-minute meditations on faith and work life.

This little volume of Biblical quotes—arranged for people with busy lives—was designed as a practical guide to working through daily challenges by following God’s Word. It shares the result of a lifetime’s worth of scriptural study and reflection. Holm grouped her quotes into three sections: Statements of Truth, Divine Commands, and Divine Promises. She recommends starting each morning by choosing a Truth to contemplate, a Command to obey, and a Promise to lean on throughout the day.

From the psalmist's assertion that no one in heaven or earth is like God, George Swinnock derives his principal doctrine namely, God is incomparable. Throughout The Blessed and Boundless God, he proves his doctrine by demonstrating God's incomparableness in His being, attributes, works, and words. Swinnock is a pastor-theologian who views theology as the means by which we grow in acquaintance with God and, consequently, in godliness.

"Ein Schiff sinkt nicht automatisch, wenn es in einen Sturm gerät. Ein Schiff sinkt, wenn der Sturm zu viel Wasser ins Innere spült." Das hast du sicher auch schon erlebt. Die Stürme des Lebens können zweifellos heftig sein, aber die Stürme, die in uns wüten, sind die, die uns wirklich nach unten ziehen können. Hattest du schon mal das erdrückende Gefühl, nicht gut genug zu sein? Kämpfst du mit Angst und Unsicherheit? Trägst du Scham wie eine schwere Last mit dir herum? Oder bist du tief in Einsamkeit versunken? Dann will Gott dich davon befreien.
