CHANGE YOUR LIFE – ONE DAY AT A TIME…
This book offers an accessible and easy way to stay in touch with the guidance of our inner wisdom. It does so by presenting an uplifting and empowering meditation for each day of the year. Like a kind and loving friend, the Word for the Day is always there to remind us how we can look at life in a way that makes us feel a little bit better, while fully accepting ourselves as we are right now. The main idea behind the meditations is that the way we think, and therefore the way we perceive life, is based on habits; and habits can be changed. All that is needed is the willingness and the determination to choose new habits – habits that serve us well and make us feel good! These daily reminders of our ability to choose, and to take charge of our thoughts and our emotions, can have a profound and life-changing effect.

This is what people have said about Word for the Day:
This inspiring book can make a fundamental difference to the quality of your days… and hence your life. Read it daily and it will change the way you think!
Duncan Coppock, author of The Self Factor
Thanks for the Word for the Day, which I look forward to every day. Really a good way to start, continue and finish a day.
Michael Lawlor, Dublin
This is a great book with manageable, bite-sized chunks of wisdom! Somehow the word for the day always seems relevant to whatever is happening in my life and Maartje’s thoughts help me to view things differently and keep my life in balance. Each day’s ‘word’ is brief enough to make time for (I read mine over morning coffee) but gives plenty of food for thought throughout the day. A really positive way to start each day — I thoroughly recommend it

This is not a typical ‘word for the day’ book. It does indeed focus on one word each day of the year, but it goes deeper than simply defining the word. Rather, it gives the words shape and body in the context of living our lives with more clarity, more joy, and more kindness. Maartje carefully selects words which are life affirming and life enhancing. As a result, each day, you feel uplifted by the beauty of ideas, thoughts, and the desire to be calmer, kinder, and gentler. And creative, and considerate. Maartje has written a very different type of self-help book. There are no plans, no rules, no guides. Just ideas and thoughts that make the outside world, and also you own inner world, a better, more poetic place. Delightful.

Overview
The purpose of this book is to share the richness of some of the Greek words used in the New Testament and help make them practical in the reader’s Christian living. Simply because words matter, the words of the New Testament matter most. And in a day when words don’t seem to mean much, the need for precision in Christian doctrine and practice has never been more critical.
Each day of the year a particular Greek word is examined by first presenting a brief word study and then offering an application to make that word real for practical living. For reinforcement, each day also includes other related verses for the reader’s personal study. In addition, each day’s devotional suggests a few prayer concerns to help apply the truth learned that day.
Doc Watson fulfills his desire of many years to provide daily devotionals that not only contain deep spiritual truth, but also are easy to read and understand. In our day of Relativism, the absolutes of God’s Word (and words) are desperately needed. These brief devotionals will enrich the mind, stir the soul, and empower the life of God’s people.

“Grace can, therefore, be defined thusly: Grace is the unmerited favor of God toward man manifested primarily through the person and work of Jesus Christ, apart from any merit or works of man.” (Page 44)
“‘Faith is the Christian’s foundation, hope is his anchor, death is his harbor, Christ is his pilot, and heaven is his country.’” (Page 338)
“The biblical picture, then, is that the word elder refers to the man’s character,bishop refers to his position as leader, that is, a ruler and guardian, and pastor refers to his duty of feeding God’s people (Acts 20:28).” (Page 185)
“Every Jewish rabbi was taught a trade, for as the rabbis said, ‘If you do not teach your son a trade, you teach him to be a thief.’” (Page 209)
