"Vance Havner was the most quotable preacher I have ever heard. "

—Warren Wiersbe, author/pastor

"No one has done more to stir the fires of revival than Vance Havner."

—Billy Graham, American Evangelist

"Vance Havner was a prophet of righteousness and revival. His diagnosis of the world and church conditions revealed a supernatural discernment that astounded audiences."

—Dr. Stephen Olford (1918-2004), pastor

"Vance Havner is one I believe that everyone should read. I doubt that I've preached many messages where I haven't quoted him. His books are hard to find, but worth the search. WORDsearch has all of Havner's books on their computer Bible study program, so no you have no excuse."

—Michael Catt, Pastor Sherwood Baptist Church, www.michaelcatt.com

Here - for each day of the year - is an inspiring journey into the Bible.

With his customary penetrating skill, Vance Havner tears away the tinted draperies with which old temptations come under fresh forms, challenges the Pharisee in pulpit and pew, scorns the commercialization of the Church, and reminds us that, however new the mask under which evil hides itself, the commands of God and the teachings of Jesus are as authoritative today as they were when Jesus walked among men.

Each of these 366 selections includes a thought-provoking theme, a Scripture verse, and a devotional meditation. This is new, fresh material which will give the reader a year's supply of spiritual strength in heaping measure.

About the Author

Vance Houston Havner was born October 17, 1901, in the Western North Carolina locality of Jugtown. Though his ministry eventually took him to major cities throughout America, Dr. Havner maintained a love for the quiet and simple ways of his more rural past. His academic experience began at Hog Hill, Jugtown's schoolhouse. Later, he attended schools such as South Fork Institution, and Boiling Springs High School, which later became Garner-Webb College. He also attended Catawba College, Wake Forest University, and Moody Bible Institute.

Dr. Havner's first pastorate was at the Salem Baptist Church in Weeksville, North Carolina. While serving at Salem Baptist Church, the first of his 38 books was published, By the Still Waters. In 1934, Havner went to Charleston, SC to serve as pastor of the First Baptist Church. Later, he was called to an itinerant ministry of evangelism and conference speaking, and it was in this capacity that his greatest contributions were made.

His influence extended to a national level, but Dr. Havner's approach was always to minister where God directed, regardless of the size of the church. His appeal and influence transcended denominational lines, and he spoke to many different groups of people. In addition to preaching in many of America's most influential churches, Dr. Havner was a highly sought speaker for conferences at places such as Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. He frequently spoke at both state and national meetings of the Southern Baptist Convention.

In 1973, he was named 'Preacher of the Year,' by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. Protestant leaders from many denominations called Havner, 'The Dean of America's Revival Preachers.' His unique sense of humor endeared him to many, and Havner could choose the right words to express a truth like no other communicator. He was truly gifted with an ability to phrase a thought in such a way, as to drive home a point with absolute effectiveness. Though Dr. Havner died in 1986, his influence for Christ continues.
