“Donald McKim has provided the church with yet another beautiful resource that integrates the rich legacy of the Christian tradition with private meditation and prayer. Interestingly, he has prepared this volume in a very Bavinckian way. The source of McKim's reflections is never Bavinck but scripture .In this way, McKim brings the reader to feed on Christ alongside a great Christian thinker and then to clasp hands with him in prayer. Highly recommended.”
