This is a delightful devotional for animal lovers like myself. It has 365 devotions with encouraging stories about all kinds of animals, both domestic and wild. It would make a great gift for the animal lover in your life, or of course for yourself if you need lighthearted, uplifting daily encouragement in 2027.

I was really excited to get my hands on All God's Creatures 2027 but the read was much too disappointing and I don't know if it was since I was rushed to read it from cover-to-cover instead of slowly savoring it. Although from personal experience I say it was the book itself.
The book is divided into twelve chapters, named after the months and mainly having no bearing on the stories included within their sections. Each entry is provided a calendar date, a title a verse at the start and then the story followed by the author's name. Each entry then was given either an activity based on the read, another verse or a quote. There was no consistency, basically something to help soak up extra space.
The stories were rather dry with the majority focusing on private memoir episodes while a rare few focused on being informative for the first half. The authors then tried to wrap up the story to a lesson about their walk with God based on rhe events of the story without bringing up a Bible verse to ground it besides what was at the start of each entry thus making the devotion seem more human-provided. And the Book of Sirach was used, which isn't in many of the religious books that I know.
Most stories also focus on pets followed by livestock then backyard neighbors, which is disappointing when looking at the cover art.
There are a few illustrations at the front of each section of various animals and they also are all in black-and-white.
All in all even though I love animals and study, this book didn't refresh my soul as it was boring and grinding as well as seemingly neverending.

All God's Creatures 2027 is a book containing twelve months of daily devotions for animal lovers. These daily devotions are short. Just three or four paragraphs long, with one verse at the beginning and one extra thought at the end. Each one will bring a smile to your face and a positive thought for the day. While this is not a deep Biblical study each devotional reminds you of creation and the God of creation. There is often an added thought of how we should have the perspective of God toward our fellow man as well as creation.
These are great when you have a moment in your day to redirect your thoughts toward God. For a young person or someone new in the faith this would be a perfect devotional. For those of us older in the faith these may seem simple but when looking at the lessons Christ’s taught, simple was often used. Sometimes simple is just what I need to focus on God’s wonderful world. It may not be the only Bible study that we need but it does encourage us to look around and see God and his work everywhere.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Thank you to NetGalley and Guideposts for a pre-publication copy of this book in return for my honest review.
As an animal lover who regularly reads Christian books and devotionals, I had high hopes for this devotional.
I appreciated the variety of animals and stories throughout the book. The devotions didn't feel repetitive, and there were several that I genuinely enjoyed. The reason for the 2-star review is that the Biblical applications often felt weak or forced to me, and many of the analogies seemed overly simplistic for the Biblical truths they were trying to illustrate.
From a formatting standpoint, I also would have preferred dated entries for a yearly devotional. Also, each devotion ended with either a prayer, an action step, a quote, or a second Scripture verse. I would have preferred one consistent format rather than alternating among them without an obvious pattern.
While I appreciated the concept, the execution just wasn’t the right fit for me.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
If you love animals, this just may be the devotional for you, Animals really are God's creatures. The stories told throughout this devotional really do emphasis how humans can learn just by watching animals. All God's Creatures is a devotional that can be reread over and over. I received a copy through Netgalley. A review was not required.

A lighter Christian devotional full of wonderful short stories all involving animals.
This thoughtful book was a nice way to start and end the day, and even just take a short break with in the afternoon. There are many authors who contributed entries and they were all well-written, gentle stories with a Scripture verse that related to the lesson learned and a personal spiritual insight. Some had a little prayer at the end or another related verse to contemplate also. I have enjoyed slowly reading through the entries and found many that I could relate to and think about later.
This book would be a lovely gift for anyone who could use some encouragement in their faith, especially if they have a tender spot for animals and nature. It would be one to keep on the shelf and reread also. Recommend!

Guideposts publishing is known for daily devotionals. They have come out with a new 2027 version of their special daily devotions for animal lovers and it is excellent. I received an advance reader's copy via NetGalley. This is my own unsolicited opinion. Each day starts with a scripture verse from various translations of the Bible such as the NIV, KJV, etc. This is followed by a short, meaningful devotion, each with an animal as a subject. The close is a brief prayer.
I do love animals and this is such a sweet way to share time with the Lord. A variety of writers have contributed to this book. I love this next sentence from one offering. "I won't dare touch the wild rabbit, since it belongs to its Creator alone, but it is a gift for me to watch and enjoy." That's how I feel about nature, it is a gift.
I think this is a nice gift for any animal lover to have to start the new year. I recommend it for teens and adults.
