new testament letters for living: daily prayers, wisdom, and guidance

A trial lawyer by trade, a Christian by heart--author Mark Lanier has trained in biblical languages and devoted his life to studying and living the Bible. Living daily with the tension between the demands of his career and the desire for a godly life, Lanier recognizes the importance and challenge of finding daily time to spend in God’s Word. He has discovered in the letters of the New Testament a storehouse of wisdom and inspiration essential for his continued growth in faith, obedience, and understanding.

In New Testament Letters for Living, Lanier guides us through a portion of the Bible marked by weighty theology, ethical instruction, and practical wisdom. For each day of the year, Lanier reflects on the words of these early Christian writers, relates their messages to the struggles facing the church today, and concludes with a prayer connected to the day’s insights. His engagement with the letters of the New Testament offers fellow Christians the opportunity to receive the gifts of grace and guidance that come from daily immersion in Scripture.
