Every Christian, I believe, struggles with time with God each day. There are so many things that scream at us for attention that we end up putting off our devotional time with Him, saying we will get to it _______, only to find at the end of the day that we may have cried out to him for guidance or shot a little arrow prayer but have not spent a minute in the Word.
John has often been said to be the perfect book for a new believer but his words are so relevant for all. It is the perfect book of the Bible to learn more about Jesus and His teachings. This small gift book has been divided into 46 ten minute devotionals with the key verse from the scripture (if you're in a big hurry and can't read the entire suggested text), a brief devotional, and then some questions to reflect on a takeaway from what you have read. The text spans John 1 through John 21 and most are based on ten verses or less which I love because I often feel as if I need to read a longer passage because I don't know where to stop. The text is written in language easy to read and understand and the scripture is lifted from the NIV version.
The book is perfectly sized for an easy stash away in a car or purse. The attractive striped cover carries over to the pages and you can see the pattern on the page edges. At such a reasonable price, I think this volume will be or should be used multiple times during this season of graduation. What better gift to offer a student leaving home for college?
I did receive this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review and am in no way obligated to write a positive one.
