Daily Readings from the Life of Christ gathers short daily meditations on the person and work of Christ, drawn from John MacArthur's preaching through the Gospels. Each reading takes a passage from the Gospel narrative, explains what it shows about Christ, and presses the application, with the readings arranged to follow the course of His ministry rather than jumping between unrelated texts.

This first volume suits believers who want their daily devotional reading anchored in exposition rather than reflection on a verse in isolation. The short entries fit a morning routine, and the Gospel focus keeps the attention on Christ Himself. Volumes 2 and 3 continue the sequence.
