 Best devotional book ever January 22, 2008
I have read this book every day for the past fourteen years. It has yet to be dry or rote or inapplicable to my life. I have underlined, dog-eared, and wept over passages in this book. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to take a long, loving, hard look at their own life. I absolutely love Frederich Buechner!
 A new idea in daily devotions January 19, 2008

I was given this book for Christmas '06. I hadn't used devotional readings since my teens but I started on this. It is full of mystery, the author's doubts, poetic words, scripture, and belief-help Thou my unbelief. It started me reading more books by Buechner and I gave copies of this to 4 other people. I look forward to my daily reading.
I always come back to this one. October 6, 2007
I have many different devotional books that I use from time to time. However, this one is the best and the one to which I always return. Those who are already Buechner fans will love it AND it is a great introduction to a wonderful writer for those who have yet to discover him. I've lost track of the number of these that I have given away as gifts. Buy it for yourself or someone that you care about!
Daily Guide March 15, 2007
I have always disliked religious inspirational reading but in Buechner's book I've been inspired enough so I'm in my fifth year of reading it daily. I've bought and read many of the books referred to in these excerpts and shared this book with friends who have become disenchanted with Christianity who also have found it wise and inspiring. I'd highly recommend it as a wonderful guide to Buechner's other books too. There's no one more honest, less doctrinaire about what he believes. I'd like to tell him personally he is a daily guide to me (and I expect he'd be embarrassed at that kind of praise).
Different Type of Devotional, And Very Thought-Provoking June 28, 2006
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
This is a devotional/meditational book I keep coming back to. It is deep, and stimulates long-lasting reflection upon my life and my God.
Sometimes his writings are too intellectual for me to grasp, but this is Buechner in an accessible form. Here I get bits of wisdom and perspective that I can grab onto. With this book I have found myself contemplating some really big thoughts about a really big God and His hand of providence.
"Listening To Your Life" rarely gathers dust on my bookshelf. I pull it out frequently and am a better person for doing so.
