While there are many devotionals available for today's Christian, and many good ones at that, sometimes it is helpful to read a new one-from a different perspective. Thirsty-hearted believers will be fed by the Spirit through John R. MacDuff's thirty-one devotionals on The Mind of Christ. You will be repeatedly impressed with MacDuff's saintliness, breadth of biblical knowledge, and his spiritual discernment and warmth-and his flaming passion for the Lord Jesus Christ. Here was a man of God who was spiritually alive and possessed a keen mind. His ministry to the Church was spent in stimulating believers-through voice and pen-to aspire to be transformed into the likeness of Christ. Read this classic and be challenged-and changed-by the Holy Spirit John R. MacDuff (1818-1895) was a pastor and prolific devotional and hymn writer in the Scottish tradition. Multiplied thousands of Christians have profited greatly by his writings over the past century.Ralph I. Tilley is a retired pastor, who also served as editor of Life in the Spirit journal for 20 years; he has taught at the Bible college, university, and seminary levels.

"And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud" (Gen. 9:14). John R. MacDuff uses God's promise to Noah-and to all humankind-as a metaphor for His suffering saints. There will be clouds (trials) in every life; but God promises to provide with the clouds a rainbow (His reassuring presence and promises).The author continually encourages the Christian to look to the sovereign God, who desires to use our severe trials to bring glory to himself, deepen our faith, and to produce a greater maturity in our understanding and walk with him. MacDuff demonstrates godly wisdom as he comes alongside the suffering believer, pointing him and her always to the unchanging and compassionate Father of mercies. He was clear about who his target audience was in writing these thirty-one devotionals: "This little book is intended to be seen by no eyes but weeping ones. It addresses no hearts but broken ones. It is to speak of sorrows with which a stranger cannot intermeddle." Read this book and be encouraged in the Lord
