## What is Christian's Daily Challenge?

Need a dose of quick spiritual refreshment during your lunch break, personal devotions, quiet time, or any other time during the day?  The Christian's Daily Challenge is great for that.  Each day's devotional is not too long to distract you from careful study of the Bible, but packs a potent portion of truth to leave you thinking and pondering about it for the rest of the day.

Featured authors include Charles Spurgeon, George Müller, Harriet Beecher Stowe, John Wesley, C. T. Studd, Andrew Murray, D. L. Moody, Phoebe Palmer, Frances Ridley Havergal, and William Bramwell, as well as many others.

The Christian's Daily Challenge is a daily devotional that was written by Edwin and Lillian Harvey in the middle of the twentieth century.  Each page was bathed in prayer before it's inclusion in the volume, and they write in their forward: "A title such as that used for this volume should not be lightly chosen. Nor has it been in this case. For some years, it has seemed to us that one of the greatest present needs of Christianity was a challenge to Christians themselves. We live in the shadow, as it were, of periods of Church History that have produced many men and women of deepest piety who have witnessed widespread and lasting revivals. In our own era we sense an unrest about spiritual things resulting in much organized effort to bring the careless back to the Church. But what will be the result if our religious centers are not true nurseries for the spiritual infants?"

I have been blessed with this book time and time again, and this app is my small token of appreciation for the truths represented within the pages.

Purchasing this app supports Harvey Christian Publishers, as well as helping to offset the cost of the app's development.

### 5/5 — This is the best devotional

*2021-11-29*

Always my favorite!!!
Much love to the developer, Ryan!

### 5/5 — App not working since the latest update

*2021-10-12*

Ever since I got the update to this app from the App Store, the app closes as soon as it's opened. I have unable to use it at all. I miss it and hope you can offer a fix to it. Thank you

Thank you for the response. I downloaded the app again but unfortunately it has the same behavior it originally did. It was a very good devotional and hoping it can be resolved.

**Developer response:** We're sorry hear that your app still isn't working. :( Please contact us at app@dailychallenge.me, or from the website, so we can walk you through troubleshooting steps to hopefully resolve your issue!  Thank you for your patience!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2021-02-21*

This is such a helpful app! Each devotional is short but empowering. My favourite part is the (almost) daily poems. Thanks for all the work! ❤️🙏🏼

### 5/5 — Brilliant app

*2020-10-27*

I’ve been using this app for well over a year now, and I think it’s brilliant. I purchased the full version quite early on and I love that I can mark as favourites the devotionals that particularly speak to me. I regularly go back to re-read certain ones. I also love being able to share devotionals with friends and family when I think they will be blessed by them. Most days include at least a few lines of poetry, which I often find is my favourite part of the day’s reading as it seems to touch my heart on a deeper level. I’ve recommended it to many people.
