Sparks: A Selection of Short Bible Devotionals for Reflection or Discussion
Twenty-eight short Bible devotionals selected from books in The Sparks Series.
The pieces provide a taste of topics already published (questions Jesus asked and other people asked Him, and living in the kingdom of God) and of topics to come (guidance, finding our identity, faith, worship, the names of God, what it means to be like Jesus, prayer, and more).Each piece is short enough to be read in a few minutes and they can be used as daily readings for a few weeks.Each one considers at least one Bible verse, and some life application is encouraged.The pieces are designed to stimulate deeper reflection and growth in spiritual maturity, which includes an application to life.
Think of them as sparks that God can use to help your spiritual growth. May they ignite a flame in your brain that fires up your thinking, races to your heart, and jumps from the tips of your fingers, toes, and tongue. Feed the flames so that your thoughts turn to passion and your passion to action. May it be of such an intensity that, everywhere you walk, every life that you touch begins to glow in turn.

This collection of devotionals sent rays of light into my morning thoughts. Each devotion extends beautiful invitations to draw near to our Living God. John Avery wrote devotions that talk about the faith challenges we face. One devotion addresses how our times with God have many possibilities and he points to the potency of God-filled silence. He includes devotions that speak of discerning distracting voices, of Jesus’ accomplishments on earth, and of the wind of the Spirit. This is a delightful, soul-stirring devotional.
Here's one of my favorite passages found on page 22 of the Kindle edition:
“Dealing with giants while they are still babies is by far the best strategy. At whatever point we become aware of them, giant desires need to be eradicated.”

This isn’t your usual devotional. It has 2 to 3 page thoughts and different ways to look at the Bible. I like to think deeper.
