    About this ebook

    God is totally faithful. That's right at the core of his character - unlike us, he cannot ever break his word.

    Knowing that we are firmly held in the grip of God's unending faithfulness is deeply reassuring. And it encourages us to be faithful too. Remembering his grace and goodness, we grow in holiness and Christlikeness. Our aim is to be faithful in the big things, but also in the nitty-gritty of life when nobody is watching.

    With these Bible teachers alongside us:
    * Alistair Begg (Psalm 119:97-104)
    * Michael Baughen (2 Timothy 4:1-22 & Hebrews 3:1 - 5:6)
    * Tim Chester (Genesis15:1-21 & Revelation 2:18-29)
    * Malcolm Duncan (1 Thessalonians 2:1-12)
    * Sinclair Ferguson (2 Timothy 4:9-10)
    * Jonathan Lamb (Acts 20:17-38)
    * Peter Maiden (1 Samuel 13:5-14)
    * Alec Motyer (1 Thessalonians 5:1-28)
    * Tom Putt (Hebrews 6:11-20)
    we explore God's faithfulness and our response. This undated 30-day devotional shows how God is faithful to cleanse us from sin, keep us until death and guarantee our eternal destiny. What greater reassurance can we ask for?

      Preface

      What is the collective name for a group of preachers? A troop, a gaggle, a chatter, a pod . . . ? I’m not sure! But in this Food for the Journey series, we have gathered an excellent group of Bible teachers to help us unpack the Scriptures and understand some of the core issues that every Christian needs to know.

      Each book is based on a particular theme and contains excerpts from messages given by much loved Keswick Convention speakers, past and present. When necessary, the language has been updated but, on the whole, this is what you would have heard had you been listening in the tent on Skiddaw Street. A wide, though not exhaustive, selection of Bible passages explores the key theme, and each day of the devotional ends with a fresh section on how to apply God’s Word to your own life and situation.

      Whether you are a Convention regular or have never been to Keswick, this Food for the Journey series provides a unique opportunity to study the Scriptures and a particular topic with a range of gifted Bible teachers by your side. Each book is designed to fit in your jacket pocket, rucksack or handbag, so that you can read it anywhere – over the breakfast table, on the commute into
