Rick Renner did not disappoint with this valuable resource! It's way more than a daily devotional, it's daily ministry! For each day of the year there is teaching on a specific scripture, with a Greek word or phrase explained for clarity, followed by Rick's encouragement on how to live it out loud. Then it includes a prayer and a positive affirmation/confession, and 3 application questions for each daily entry. I can't say enough good about Renner Ministries and his books! They truly are gifts to Believers in Christ!Update: I bought a second book like this for our close friends to study together. I can't wait to give it to them!

There are a number of good devotionals on the market but this one is by far the best I have ever read. It is so informative with history and the Greek to better understand the scriptures. Would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to get a deeper understanding of God's Word.

I do not leave many reviews but this is a very good devotional. It is not short and sweet daily prayers. This is very meaty, very informative. You will find yourself taking notes and highlighting. Includes an index of all the Greek words used throughout. It is also a huge book, I think it is larger than my bible, so it is not a devotional that you will travel with but that is what the kindle version is for.

I have bought both Volumes I and II of Sparkling Gems. I wish every Christian could receive these books when they are first saved! Others critiqueing these books have given wonderful details of what's provided in these books. I'll just say that I consider Rick Renner to be my mentor. He has helped and encouraged and at times brought conviction to every area of my life where I struggle. He covers every area of daily Christian living there is! He covers everything you need for the rest of your life to become a good Christian! These books are daily devotionals, but I do not read these one day at a time. I just read through and cover many days in one sitting. I actually get excited to do my devotionals each day! I can spend hours devouring the wonderful spiritual food in these books! These two books are bringing change into my life....for real! I will be rereading these over and over until Jesus returns! :) If my house were on fire...I'd grab my Bible and these two books!!! I love Rick Renner!!! PLEASE, if you can, get yourself these books!!!

Great devotional!

Excellent book by Rick Reiner. A wonderful man of GOD and a powerful biblical scholar. I highly recommend this book for every true student of the WORD.
