Customer Reviews

Timely passages for my recent graduate son.

Robert Schuller is amazing in his daily writings. My son needed some positive uplifting thru a time at a new job not going well. I opened the book to the day and unbelieveable, the passage was exactly what my son needed. I e-mail him daily of each passage for the last month and my son has a new outlook at his job and his life. I purchased this book to give to him, instead, I read it daily, then type an e-mail to my son. He asks for them when I miss a day. He is a 28 year old man with a new sales job, working hard and now engaged to be married and will convert to catholicism. I am so proud of him, he just needed a lift and the real man came forward. Thank you Robert Schuller for your positive attitude.

Optimism is never simplistic

If you start reading Robert Schuller you will no doubt read about a God who cares and loves. What is all to uncommon today is real optimism. The Bible contains all that is needed for self confidence, self-esteem and real problem solving. Norman Vincent Peale knew this and began a revolution of positive faith in the early 1950's. Robert Schuller and his son Robert A. Schuller have continued Dr. Peale's legacy. Their style is somewhat more dynamic, and a little more charismatic. The strange thing is that most book reviewers pigeon hole Schuller's philosophy as "glib" or "simplistic". What they don't realize is that in today's culture, people are looking for hope. Staunch legalistic Christianity gets bashed by liberals who like to re-interpret the Bible into something the originally inspired writers could have never imagined. When Jesus and psychology are combined it's looked at as simplistic. Why? Most likely because most of the reviewers look at the Bible as simplistic and out-moded. What Robert Schuller and son have managed to do with all their writing is combine real life faith stories with key Bible verses and possibility thinking. This used to be called common sense. It now is a "new" way of thinking. People are hurting and need God. This devotional culls the best nuggets from Schuller's brilliant and influential ministry. If you want to start your day with inspiration, and a strong dose of Jesus, then this devotional is for you. If you want something that talks down and applies the guilt-then this book is not for you. God Bless Dr. Schuller(s) for possiblity living and thinking! (Sorry about the exclamation point)
