I have enjoyed books by Randy Alcorn in the past and was excited to have the opportunity to review a new book by him titled, “90 Day’s of God’s Goodness.”

It is a book of devotions designed to show you the goodness of God during the difficult times in life. Each devotional starts with a passage of scripture followed by a two to three page reading. At the end of each reading is a prayer written by the author.

Randy Alcorn’s wisdom and love for God shines through as he uses scripture to provide encouragement during the trials and difficulties of life. He uses examples of real people who have been through real personal darkness and shares how their faith in God brought them through.

One thing that really stood out to me was his belief that Christians should prepare for trials before they actually come. When life is calm, take that time to deepen and strengthen your faith to prepare for the challenging times ahead.

“Studying about evil and suffering doesn’t equal facing it, but it can go a long way in preparing us for it, provided we see it in relationship to both the goodness and greatness of God. This will provide a reservoir of perspective from which we can draw. It will minimize disorientation and panic when we plunge into life’s turbulence…We shouldn’t wait until suffering comes to start learning how to face it any more than we should wait until we fall into deep water to start learning how to scuba dive.”

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review. The opinions are my own.
