Things Unseen: One Year of Reflections on the Christian Life

“It is difficult to find the correct set of superlatives for these podcasts/devotionals now published as a book. Listening to them as they appeared each day was transformative. Dr. Ferguson has been a friend for more than forty years, but having him in the passenger seat each day as I drove to church was like a throwback to a time when we served together at the same church. "These are much more than devotionals. They are a digest of biblical and systematic theology in bite-size pieces. Having these podcasts published in a book helps you see that a little clearer. I am tempted to ask, What should every Christian know about the Christian life? Answer: The contents of this book! I have read many devotionals that take you, day by day, through the year. This one exceeds them all. A triumphal achievement!”

“Imagine spending a few minutes every day for a year with one of today's wisest senior saints. Sinclair Ferguson combines theological depth of insight with pastoral astuteness and a wonderful way with words to produce devotional supplies for a year's growth in Christ. Here is wisdom, light, and encouragement to bring to your daily life!”

“The Things Unseen podcast is a very great gift to the church, and now that blessing has been further multiplied in this published format. In these pages, you will not only find the fruit of faithful learning and profound reflection but also, beautifully, the fruit of humble living before the face of God and loving devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ. Winsome and wise, gen­tle but robust, full of truth and grace, this devotional guide will nourish and edify the youngest believer and the most seasoned saint. You are holding in your hands a treasure to which you will want to return again and again and a wellspring in which you will discover new depths year after year!”

“These wonderful reflections brim with wisdom, encouragement, and chal­lenge. We are repeatedly reminded that our spiritual life is not first about us but about God, about His Son, and about the Holy Spirit. Our first task in life, Dr. Ferguson reminds us, is not to think about ourselves but to see the Lord and to enjoy His presence and to live out the beauty of the Lord's char­acter in our everyday lives. In reading this book, you will meet the Lord, day after day, week after week, month after month. You can't ask for much more than that, and I found these reflections to be a tonic for my own soul.”

“It is a true delight to see Dr. Ferguson's podcast made into a devotional book. As I listened to the daily episodes of Things Unseen, I often wished that I could have them in written form, both for looking back over them myself and also for giving them to other people. I'm very grateful to have that become a reality. So much wisdom is packed into this book, and I look forward to passing copies along to others. There is help here: help in know­ing, in loving, and in living for the Lord Jesus Christ”
