I have read a number of devotions, and their formula is the same in every devotional book: a formula for each entry. This book has a lot more elements/sections than most devotions.
This does have a formula for each entry.
Each entry has a:
1. a picture
2. theme (e.g., forgiveness, gratitude, What the Enemy meant for Evil, God meant for Good, etc.)
3. scripture verse -reference and fully printed. Some verses are noted as from the ESV, and others have no reference to the translation, but they seem like the ESV.
4. opening prayer (sometimes lengthy)
5. context and setting - provides context for the devotion
6. Devotion - sometimes long, sometimes short
7. contemporary application - this is the best part
8. Illustrative story- sometimes these are really interesting little short stories.
9. closing prayer - Seeing how others word their prayer helps me formulate my heart as I approach God.
I like the challenges as they cause me to examine my own heart and attitudes. For example, in the application section of the entry, it challenges me as follows:
Do you weep over your city? Your neighbors? Your children? Do you feel what Jesus felt when you witness brokenness, injustice, or rebellion? Do not grow numb to the spiritual state of the world around you. Let Christ’s heart become yours. Develop a holy burden for the lost and be moved, not to judgment, but to intercession, compassion, and faithful witness. Ask God to give you spiritual sensitivity, to see people not just as faces in the crowd but as souls deeply loved by God. Be the voice of hope, the hands of healing, and the messenger of peace.
I really enjoyed some entries, which actually seemed like mini-sermons rather than just pep talks, and I think they have more substance than many devotion books. Overall, this was a good devotion and is worth adding to your shelf.
