Devotional done right.

Have you ever tried doing a daily devotional and find it had to stay committed? Do you even know what a devotional is? It's basically a daily bible reading/journaling activity! I never could get into devotionals... they felt like homework to me. And I dislike homework. But then I got this book at my nearest book store!
It has the whole daily reading inside of it, so theres no flipping through the bible looking for that one passage. And it's in the message translation so its a really cool, fresh, easy way to read and understand scripture!
This actually is a gender neutral book. (for guys... it comes in gray!)

So here is an example of what one of these is like!
I'm on day 87, called...
"I'll worship you undivided". So it has the passage Psalm 86:14-17,
and it has 4 tasks. (normally consists of Read, Think, Pray, Live... each is 2-3 sentences) These entire daily devo's take 5 minutes each, give or take, and they have taught me so much about how a relationship with God works AND they are... dare I say... FUN! I actually look forward to what the days passage is now!
I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone! I will go to my deathbed advocating for every person to try this book. Truly is well done!

Have a great day!

  1. You sure write a good review. Any author would die for a critique like you just posted. I'm going to have to pick this book up.

    Can I get you to check out my devo. I'm not sure what kind of review you'd give it, but it doesn't cost anything. It's a free download.

    My devo is not a daily devotional. It's just a book with my devos about spiritual growth, what it looks inside us. What it looks on the outside (as in service), and our source of spiritual growth (attributes of God).

    Again, would love your thoughts. It can be found at http://yoyo.zachshouse.org.

    It's called THE YO-YO ARTIST.

    Thanks Kaylee for your time.

    P.S. I'm posting using Google, but I don't use blogger any more. I don't know how to post this any other way though. Thanks.
