I have enjoyed reading Nancy Guthrie’s books in the past and was excited to get an opportunity to read another of her works. Her latest book, “Abundant Life Day Book”, is a devotional book. There is a short reading for each day of the year. Each day begins with a scripture passage and the reading that follows is written as though God is speaking directly to the reader. She follows up each reading with a prayer of her own to apply the passage to the heart.
This method of writing, as though God is speaking directly to the reader, is intended to help the passage come alive. I like this style of writing and found that the passage does take on more meaning this way. The devotional’s focus is on God’s blessings for His people. Each devotional leads the reader to see the great blessings given us in Christ. In fact, as you flip through and read the title to each devotional, you are in essence reading a list of blessings we’ve been given. This book is gospel driven and grace saturated. Every page shouts of God’s love for His people. Each devotional truly is a blessing to read.
“From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another.” John 1:16
