Strength for Today supplies a daily reading for every day of the year, drawn from John MacArthur's expository preaching. Each entry takes a short passage of Scripture, explains what it means in its context, and applies it directly, with the readings ranging across the doctrines of the faith and the practical matters of obedience, prayer, suffering, temptation and worship.

The book suits believers who want daily reading grounded in exposition rather than reflection on an isolated verse, and the dated entries make it easy to keep place. It works well as a gift at the new year and as a first devotional for someone just beginning the habit.
