About Seek Him Early
From the publisher's feed
Welcome to the "Seek Him Early" podcast, featuring "Daily Devotional Studies on Knowing, Loving, and Serving Our Lord Jesus Christ." Each weekly program is from the book of that same title. Your host is Dr. J. D. Watson, author of the book, pastor of Grace Bible Church in Meeker, Colorado, and director of Sola Scriptura Publications.
Each Monday we will post a new program featuring a reading from the book. It is our desire for God’s people to better know, love, and serve our Lord Jesus Christ, so we are making these devotional studies available not only in print form but also in this podcast. We hope you will collect them and listen whenever you can and wherever you are.
Endorsed by Steve Lawson, Phil Johnson, Joel Beeke, Paige Patterson, Todd Friel, and many others, the book it is divided into the three distinct parts specified in the sub-title (each encompassing four months of devotional/theological studies). You are first encouraged to know the Lord in a personal way, then to love Him like never before, and finally to be driven to more passionately serve Him. Each daily reading is between 450–500 words in length, meaty, theological, and homiletical. It also includes a “Scriptures for Study” section, which lists other related verses for you to explore and lends itself to personal journaling.
If you would like a copy of the book, you can order it directly from Sola Scriptura Publications or Amazon.com (also available in Kindle). Click here to see samples (and other available books).
