I received a copy of this book for the purpose of reading and reviewing. Having read it, I am already making a note of who I can buy it for!
As the title says, this book contains 52 devotions; one per week. You don’t have to read it like this, of course, and could read one a day, but I would encourage you to take your time with these devotions. On average, they are three pages long and will take around five minutes to read. The reason I suggest taking your time and reading one a week is because Vicki includes a few probing questions at the end of each devotion, under the heading, To Think About, which is followed by an open section for, My Thoughts. I feel that by taking time to think about, and really ponder the message Vicki has chosen for the week, we can note down our own feelings, tackle the questions she asks, and see how it develops over the course of seven days.
Vicki draws on her own experiences and particular incidences of things that have happened in her own life. I was drawn by her honesty, which I found really helped to bring a freshness of God’s Word into the reality of everyday living. The use of Scripture in various translations helps bring clarity, and grounds us in ways of God – the Way we are to follow and the way we are called to live as sons and daughters of God.
Vicki covers a wide range of topics and themes, including – friendship and relationship, legacy and the gift of time, the expectations within everyday life and the choices we make, plans and trust and taking risks.
These are beautifully honest and thought-provoking devotions that are filled with joy and hope, encouragement and blessing.
