Great book, I read from it every day, and they didn't seem dated at all.

Great devotional. Not fluffy. Something really worth reading on every page. It's good to always read the whole suggested passage of scripture, not only the one verse printed at the top of the page.

I've been reading this devotional all of 2024 in hopes it would navigate me through the Bible with some modern applications for my life. Eh. I appreciate the practice of "sampling" scripture in a year's time but the reflections provided by Jill Briscoe felt outdated and not very relevant to a modern woman. Sure, some of the truths she focused on are timeless, but I was hoping for a better "take home" message most days. I felt a lot of the daily reflections were more like well-worn platitudes and didn't really impact me one way or another.
