Volume 1 features Genesis and Job. In "The Old Testament Books Made Simple" (2009) James Smith states, "Genesis stresses that through faith man relates to his Creator. Faith is a fundamental principle of life. Failure in faith is failure in life." Job provides a perspective on suffering. Gain encouragement from the patriarchs of faith for your spiritual walk with chronological readings through the Bible and insights on daily application of scripture from Robert Hawker, Charles H. Spurgeon, and Octavius Winslow.
C.M.H. Koenig (a pen name) is an adult missionary kid (MK) and third culture kid (TCK) who grew up overseas and in the United States. Koenig's family had regular devotions since she was a child, and she was encouraged to continue the practice as she grew older. Koenig has read and re-read a number of devotionals and Bible reading plans over the last few decades. The selection and arrangement of these devotions were made with a crucial spiritual goal in mind. "Hawker, Spurgeon, and Winslow provide solid, tasty meat, a veritable feast I wish to share with others. They were abundantly gifted writers."
