I have to make a confession up front, I love the concept of devotionals but generaly find them lacking. Why must I admit this? It will effect my review of this book.
For instance, as a book in and of itself, I don’t know if I would recommend it. However, compared to other devotionals, this is one of the better ones.
Divided into different subjects, the author stays on target of the scope of the title by presenting Biblical based thoughts from God. I do not always agree with some of the presummed angles he takes of the characters in the writings but over all it’s well done.
If you are looking for a new devotional and just getting started, this one wouldn’t be bad. However, if you want something a little deeper, maybe look to the classics like “God Calling”.
I got a copy of this book for free from www.booksneeze.com in exchange for an honest review.
Is “God Calling” your favorite devotional? I haven’t read many as far as that goes. Isn’t there a classic devotional called “Streams in the Desert?” What’s your take on that?
What I liked about “God Calling” is the way I did it I think…. The one I got had the devotional and a place to journal each day. I would read the devotional and then write prayers of what it meant to me and what was going on. Then I went through it a second year seeing where I was and where God had led me over that time and that was pretty impactful too.
I have head really good things about Streams in the Desert. I tried it but it didn’t click for me but then again hardly any devotionals do from some reason. I still lean towards straight Bible reading or study personally. I would give it a shot if you like devotionals.
Blessings and Miss ya!
