Reviews

[Edward Arrington · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent devotional book. The authors discuss a different topic each day: sixty-two topics that are especially pertinent to teens but worth the time for adults as well. Most of the devotions share one or more examples from real life so that they are not just nebulous concepts. Some include examples from the Bible to help make the point. For someone wanting to get started with a daily devotional time, this would be a good place to get started.
