My wife and I have read through the Daily Devotions for the entire year. At one point she stopped me and said that every husband and father should receive a copy of these devotions and read them aloud to his wife and children. I agree. Above all, Dr. Percival is a Pastor and has a Pastor's heart and insight. With these devotions, he leads us through the entire range of a person's relation with our Triune God. Skillfully, he guides us through the pertinent Psalms, instructive Biblical passage, and a brief statement on how to speak with God. His choice of poems is very brief and very uplifting. He leads us finally in a sentence or two on how we ought to pray. This book of devotions should have wide circulation well beyond the Anglican Communion to the church universal. It has already begun with me. Rev. Dr. Nicholas J. Tavani, B.D., Ph.D., CFLE Altadena, California 2005
