Savoring God's Wonderful Word Throughout the Year","description":"\u003cp\u003eEarly mornings are very predictable for lots and lots of Christians. Roll out of bed, turn on the coffee pot, pour a cup, settle into a favorite chair and enjoy what is called \"the daily devotional.\" This usually consists of reading a passage from the Bible and a selection from a daily readings book. It concludes with prayer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Believers who follow this pattern can go through a good number of devotional readings as the years go by. So they are always looking for new material--something to go along with their Bible and their coffee. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hoping that I could be helpful in supplying the need for more of these kinds of readings, I gathered up some articles I had written and put them in a book--A Dog and a Clock. The idea was to supply brothers and sisters in Christ with enough devotions to carry them through one month. That quickly led to another book--The Thumbs Up Man--to carry \"devotion-doers\" through another month--and so on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e You can guess what happened after three or four books came out. There are twelve months in the year. So why not provide enough books to cover a year? Well, off we went and out the books came until there were finally twelve  Since these books were designed to go with the Bible and a good cup of coffee, it seemed right to call them My Coffee-Cup Meditations. Here are all twelve books in one big volume--372 readings in total \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eEllsworth, Roger:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Roger Ellsworth is a retired pastor, active in ministry and writing, who lives in Jackson, Tennessee.
