A time for decision

This practical spiritual guide opens the door to life's greatest adventure—discovering God's purpose for your life and the unique role only you can play. Published in 1959, this thirty-one day devotional journey combines biblical wisdom with contemporary relevance, drawing on J. B. Phillips' influential New Testament translation and carefully curated spiritual resources. The book recognizes that while everyone seeks purpose, whether through exploration, invention, artistic expression, or achievement, the deepest fulfillment comes from understanding God's personal plan for each individual. Rather than offering easy comfort, this guide invites readers into genuine spiritual transformation through structured daily readings organized around key themes: knowing God, personal training, equipping oneself with faith, overcoming obstacles, prayer, and living purposefully within family and community. Through accessible meditations, prayers, and reflections, the author demonstrates how becoming a person of strong character and conviction—someone shaped by genuine faith—matters far more than any external accomplishment. This timeless work speaks to young people and spiritual seekers ready to move beyond surface spirituality toward authentic discipleship and meaningful contribution to the world.
