Each edition of the word4U2day begins life as The Word for Today a daily devotional by Bob and Debby Gass. Bob was born in Ireland and migrated to the USA when he was 17. While there, in 1994 he wrote the first edition ofThe Word for Today . From that initial print run of 3 500 copies its popularity has grown immensely and now over six million copies are published each quarter in 17 languages.

word4U2day is a special adaptation of The Word for Today published by UCB Australia. Taking Bob and Debby's writings, the text is refreshed by a team at The Message Trust, based in Manchester, UK. Alistair Metcalf, Ian, Matt, Brenda and Zoe make sure that it ‘speaks’ the language of teens and young adults. Just before it arrives in your inbox or on your doorstep, the team here at UCB Australia, in collboration with RBG New Zealand, gives it the once-over once more to make sure the language is relevant and understandable to Aussies and Kiwis.

word4U2day and The Word for Today offer people strength and guidance for daily living. Bob says ‘The Word for Today is a kick start for cold mornings, when you don't feel like reading your Bible or perhaps are finding it a bit dry, that's when you need a good injection of inspiration. That's what I want to provide for our readers, something to focus their minds on God's goodness.'
