SHORT BOOK DESCRIPTION:
"Cast all your cares on him." "Love the Lord with all your heart." "I can do all things . . . ." Most would be surprised at how often the word "all" appears in the Bible-literally thousands of times. And with each description of God's comprehensive promises, each reminder of our complete blessing in Christ, each appeal for our full and total surrender, His reputation grows larger before our eyes. We see again what He can do. We see again who we can be.
Based on the Bible's sizeable emphasis on this tiny yet powerful word "all," best-selling author and pastor Robert J. Morgan has created a remarkable 365-day spiritual growth experience in his new devotional, All to Jesus: A Year of Devotions (B&H Books, October 2012). A choice sampling of the Bible's most "all"-encompassing statements, All to Jesus will surround believers each day with inspiring stories, personal reflections and the encouraging assurance that they are cared for in ways they never imagined.

MY REVIEW:
I collect devotional books :). I'm so pleased to add All to Jesus
to my collection. I really enjoyed devouring this book of 365
devotions, based on the Scriptures that contain the word "all". Each
devotion is a page long and begins with a Bible verse. Many of them
include wonderful, insightful stories, poems, parts of hymns, or quotes.
I didn't realize that so many Scriptures have the word "all" (5,675
according to the author). This book helps me to take time to really
ponder these Bible verses and thank God for all He is and all He does.
He is truly all I ever need! Some of my favorites (I have tons) are Day
16 (Genesis 14:20), Day 22 (Ecclesiastes 3:20), Day 26 (Isaiah 38:16), and Day 33 (Job 1:22). Bonus:
This book also includes a link for readers to get free downloads of
more than 40 hymns. There are 9 blank prayer pages at the end of the
book where you can write down your prayers. All to Jesus would make a lovely gift for any Christ's followers!
"There are many philosophies in the world; but
really, only two: Hope and Despair. Without Jesus Christ and His Word,
all other philosophies ultimately end in existential gloom...Life is
ultimately meaningless without God." ~Robert J. Morgan (from Day 22)
AND NOW...THE FIRST WEEK:
He is all in all to me,
And my song of songs shall be, Hallelujah, O My Savior,
I am trusting only Thee.
Fanny Crosby
Introduction
One evening several years ago when troubled about a particular matter, I sat at the dining room table and picked up my Bible. I turned to a little book near the back and read through 1 Peter, thinking the old fisherman might have an encouraging word for me. When I got to the last chapter, I came across verse 7: “casting all your care upon Him, because He cares about you.” It was a verse I knew well, indeed had memorized it; but now I saw something I’d never seen before. It said: “casting ALL your care upon Him.”
