A Year with God: Making His Thoughts Your Thoughts by R.P. Nettelhorst
I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review by BookSneeze. They did not provide any other measure of compensation--only asking for an honest review in return. My review was not required to be positive.
Overall, I think it was a decent surface-type devotional. However it was not something that I would see at a bookstore and buy it off the shelf. I actually prefer devotionals and studies with a little more "meat" to them.

I do like that the scriptures used all came from the Old Testament--definitely not the case with most devotional type books and it was nice to see something different. I also liked that there were distinct topical sections within the book (Hope and Fear, Love and Hate, Perseverance and Quitting, Faith and Doubt, Loyalty and Betrayal, Companionship and Isolation, Mercy and Judgment, Forgiveness and Anger, Joy and Sadness, Peace and Conflict). These topics can be related to by everyone--myself included. I will keep this book within easy reach on my bookshelf even just for the quick reads in the arena of "Joy and Sadness".
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. What is your favorite devotional book?
ReplyDeleteNot sure if I have a favorite.. I haven't really worked through a devotional-type book in a while. One of my favorite studies, though, is Lies Women Believe by Nancy Leigh DeMoss.
