This year as a tribute to John MacArthur serving 25 years as their president, The Master’s College published a special edition soft-cover book, “Daily Readings from the Life of Christ,” containing a year’s worth of short devotions to think on. When the board of directors wanted to print this book, MacArthur initially resisted, but it’s easy to see that the focus isn’t on him. At the end of the book he speaks of the professors, administrators, and staff that have served to make the college what it is today, which is a ministry in higher education. He then reminds us that “the pursuit of that ministry has never rested on human achievement,” and goes on to explain how grateful he is for the Lord to bless the college over so many years (founded in 1928).
I was excited to hear that my sister found my name in the book after one of the quotes, along with testimonies from other alumni and the college faculty. There’s also a list of some milestones over the last 25 years that have come about during the time that MacArthur has been the school’s president.
Just a quick skimming through this book and I can already see why it makes a great gift to help any Christian grow stronger in their faith. Here are some more details on the hardcover edition, since this special edition isn’t online.
Daniel-
Is the softcover available anywhere?

Cliff, so far the only place I’ve found it is in the hands of the graduating class… but maybe that’s because it just came out? Not sure…
