Title: Focusing on God: 31 Days of God's Glory and Grace
Author: Frank Hamrick- C.J. Harris (Editor)-Jason Ehmann(Foreword)
Publisher: Positive Action for Christ
Publish Date: August 21, 2017
Review:
"Focusing on God: 31 Days of God's Glory and Grace" is a beautifully crafted devotional that invites readers to explore the divine attributes of God. While it comes from a Christian perspective, the themes of reflection, gratitude, and the pursuit of a deeper relationship with the Creator resonate universally.
Each day's reflection is thoughtfully designed, using scripture and personal anecdotes to illustrate profound truths about God's glory and grace. As a Muslim reader, I found the emphasis on intentionality in focusing on God to be a valuable reminder of my own faith's core principles. The structured format encourages mindfulness and spiritual growth, making it suitable for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of their faith, regardless of background.
What stands out in this book is the author’s ability to connect personal experiences with spiritual lessons. The insightful questions and prayers at the end of each chapter invite contemplation and self-reflection, which can be appreciated across different faith traditions.
Overall, "Focusing on God" offers a rich and uplifting exploration of spirituality that encourages readers to seek a closer connection with the Divine. While it is rooted in Christian beliefs, its universal themes make it a thoughtful read for anyone on their spiritual journey. Highly recommend for personal use or as a gift for those interested in deepening their understanding of God's qualities!
My point of view:
I am a Muslim, but I genuinely desire to read books that challenge my perspectives and expand my understanding of different beliefs. Exploring literature outside my own faith helps me grasp why others hold their convictions and fosters a deeper appreciation for the diversity of human experience. Engaging with these texts not only broadens my worldview but also enhances my own spiritual journey, allowing me to find common ground and learn from the values and principles that guide others. This curiosity is rooted in a belief that understanding different beliefs can promote empathy and dialogue in our increasingly interconnected world.

A great, helpful read. An informative devotional backed up by plenty of scripture. Easy to read and a great book for clarifying issues of faith and focusing on the most important thing - the desire to know God and draw close to him.
