A 30–day guide that clearly explains the steps of salvation
This devotional walks readers through the stage–by–stage path of God’s salvation, from eternity past,
through life and death, and into eternity future. The book explores rich, substantive theology, making it accessible and clear without dumbing it down, and includes illustrations and applications. The stages of the Ordo Salutis as Will Dobbie frames it are spread across thirty daily devotionals.
Each day’s entry contains:
·
Scripture verses
·
an examination of the particular doctrine at hand
·
illustrations
·
applications
·
a suggested prayer
·
a question to ponder
Life in our world can include uncertainty, anxiety and tragedy. In this context, the theological richness and profundity of God’s salvation plan offers the believer confidence,
comfort, clarity and perspective, to God’s greater glory.

Review :
… a wonderfully God–centred understanding of our salvation, that is thoroughly biblical and fosters true humility, joy, assurance, hope and love for God and His glory.
For each day of the month Will has given us a fresh, bright glimpse of God’s glory. As clear as a dawn praising a wonderful day, his descriptions and explanations of deep bible truths will make you long for more of our great God.
Will writes with real clarity, serving us with doctrine that is always devotional, and in reading it I was reassured, excited, and moved to pray with gratitude and joy to our glorious God of wisdom and grace.
With pastoral wisdom and theological clarity, Will Dobbie walks us through all that God has done for us in Christ. This rich devotional guide to the ‘order of salvation’ will help you grow in knowledge of yourself and your God.
… deep and devotional, whilst being concise and accessible. … will help me communicate these eternal truths in simple ways.
… a marvellous one month–long daily devotional examining God’s plan and execution of redemption. … bound to bring insight and refreshment. A triumph.
I love this book! … thoroughly biblical,
theologically robust, and immensely readable … Here is a devotional fit for daily feasting!
Combining profound theology with practical everyday–life applications, it also includes vivid contemporary illustrations and answers a variety of objections raised against the Bible’s truth. It will bring assurance and confidence to the believer, strength to the church and glory to God.
