Looking for devotional reading? Here is an ideal choice.

If you are looking for devotional reading, then I heartily commend to you Sam Storms, A Sincere and Pure Devotion to Christ: 100 Daily Meditations on 2 Corinthians Here is the endorsement I wrote for this book.

With A Sincere and Pure Devotion to Christ: 100 Daily Meditations on 2 Corinthians Sam Storms has served a splendid reflection on 2 Corinthians that will benefit readers at all levels. Those with no theological training will profit from an accessible and clear style learning not only the rich content of 2 Corinthians, but also how to study the Bible and apply it to life. Those with questions about what happens after someone dies, or, how to handle discouragement, or how we can be more confident in sharing our faith with others, will find biblical answers. Pastors preparing for sermons on 2 Corinthians will appreciate Storms’ interaction with commentators, his careful exegetical decisions, and the pastoral application of 2 Corinthians. A Sincere and Pure Devotion to Christ is a book that is at once exegetically responsible, theologically profound, and pastorally relevant. I highly recommend it.

Here is a quote that Storms writes in reference to 2 Corinthians 3:18.

. . . We see here that ‘beholding is a way of becoming.’  That is to say, we always tend to become like or take on the characteristics and qualities of whatever it is we admire and enjoy and cherish most.  Fixing the eyes of our faith on Jesus is transformative.  Gazing on his glory as seen in the gospel and now preserved for us in Scripture has the power to bump us along, as it were, whether minimally or maximally, whether in short spurts of sanctification or great and notable triumphs, toward the fullness that is found in Christ alone but will one day be found in us, by grace, as well.”
