About this title

Review:

Joni Eareckson Tada, author of the bestselling Diamonds in the Dust, turns her attention from precious rock to precious metal in More Precious Than Silver, a book of 366 devotional readings. Tada cites Psalm 12:6 as the reason she prefers silver to the more popular gold: "The words of the Lord are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace ...purified seven times." Tada believes that true treasure is not found in the golden glitter of outward appearances, but in the heart of a person who has been in assiduous contact with "the silver of God's Word."

From the Publisher:

More Precious Than Silver continues in the tradition of Diamonds in the Dust. Those who liked Joni's first devotional will love this year's-worth of daily readings. Grouped into 12 sections--one for each month of the year--Joni's writings pull back the blinders of familiarity and help us see God's extraordinary dealings in everyday events. A Heart of Silver, Left Hand of God, Out of Season, God's Fingers . . . God's Arm. . . Joni's writings cover the spectrum of inspiration, teaching, theology, humor, and practical application. More Precious Than Silver is a devotional that runs deep, reads easy, and will appeal to many tastes and needs. Writing from firsthand knowledge of God's faithfulness in the midst of difficulties, Joni offers wider, fuller perspectives on the Christian life. Joni says, These pieces of silver include insights which, over thirty years in a wheelchair, have made me rich in faith and wealthy in hope. It is my joy to pass on the treasure to others through this new devotional . . . and it's my prayer that the reader will be all the richer for it. Featuring graceful black-and-white drawings by Joni, More Precious Than Silver is sure to take its place beside Diamonds in the Dust as a best-selling devotional favorite.
