Thoughtful Devotions: Deuteronomy

by Adam Springsteen

Deuteronomy, a second retelling of the laws of God. As Moses stood with the Israelites on the bank of the Jordan River, he reminded the people of the many laws. These laws were not arbitrary or the work of a cruel God trying to enslave His people. Rather, they were protection and guidance. They were a display of love from God to His peculiar people. Today, we join the Israelites as the children of God. A walk through Deuteronomy provides reminders for us on how to live a life holy, obedient, and pleasing to God. We all need reminders to encourage and restore our faith. A walk through the fifth and final book of the Torah provides this and much more. Journey through the book of Deuteronomy and allow the fresh insights of these devotions to be a reminder of how great our God is.

About the author

Adam Springsteen is from Dowagiac, MI but now resides in Paw Paw, MI. The decision to move came in 2017. He and his family are happy with their new town and community. He has two brothers, one older and one younger. In 2003, he married his wife and today has three kids, two boys and a girl. The death of his dad in 2004 was part of the inspiration for this book.

He graduated from Southwestern Michigan College in 2012 with three associate degrees. In 2023 he finished his bachelor's in organizational leadership.

During his time at Southwestern Michigan College, he took a creative writing class with author Michael Collins, who inspired him to write this book. Always feeling he had a knack for writing, he decided to seek out publishing. This is his first book, and he has ideas for writing a sequel to it.

In 2023 he released his second book, a devotional covering Psalm 119 titled "My Meditation All the Day". In 2024, his third book covered a topic that has become dear to him, leadership, and is titled "The Leadership Pandemic".

In his spare time, he enjoys reading, listening to music, taking walks with the family, and vacations. As time has passed, he finds solace and an ever-growing closeness to his family. He attends church regularly and has done so his whole life.

In addition to drawing inspiration from his dad’s passing, he finds additional strength from the internal conflicts he has faced. He hopes that this book will be an enjoyment and a blessing while encouraging others to seek and live out their dreams.
