The One Who Came Before
31 Days With John the Baptist
Frank Sellar
31 devotional readings
New Testament readings about John the Baptist
Each has a Question to consider and a Prayer
Taking Bible passages about John the Baptist verse by verse, and making observations concerning what he says, what the text meant when first written and how it applies today, you are invited to study this last of the Old Testament prophets within the pages of the New Testament, over one month (31 days) and so to better get to know the Lord Jesus.

Christian Focus
His careful reflections come from a lifetime of ministry that has been biblical, pastoral and practical. Consequently, Frank’s insights into the Baptist’s character and ministry are applied with a deceptive simplicity that can veil the wisdom of these brief expositions.

Frank shows us how John consistently pointed others to Jesus, which is precisely what this devotional does! Read it – you will not only learn about John the Baptist, but your heart will resonate with John’s words about Christ, ‘He must increase, but I must decrease’ (John 3:30).

Here is a beautifully crafted introduction to a much neglected Biblical hero. It is rich in pastoral encouragement for believers under pressure, full of wise biblical insight for disciples living in an egocentric culture, and focused on prayerful application day by day. A devotional gem!

I am delighted to comment this helpful book to anyone seeking to read the Bible for themselves. You will benefit from the wise guidance of an experienced Bible teacher and pastor, and will re–discover the unfolding of God’s big story of salvation, announced by the forerunner of the Messiah. Excellent!
