Raised within an evangelical household by her beloved grandmother and mother, Macy Halford eventually leaves Dallas for a profession in journalism in New York City. She's only the devotional to remind her of her spiritual past - and discovers quickly that, though the book sells almost a million copies per year, no-one she knows there's heard about it. Finally, excavating her spiky relationships with her upbringing, she quits her coveted job at The New Yorker to be able to look deeper into the qualifications of the devotional - using its daily selection from the sermons and writings of the Scottish evangelical preacher Oswald Chambers - wrestling with who Chambers actually was, what ideas informed his coaching and beliefs, and why the e book means very much to her. Halford interweaves her own history recover of the Chambers family: Oswald, who passed away ministering to United kingdom military in Egypt in World Conflict I, and his committed wife, who spent her life submitting his speeches, sermons, and books. The result is that Halford has penned a captivating and candid memoir in what it means to be always a Christian, a audience, and a seeker in the 21st hundred years.
