How is that Bible reading plan working out for you? That’s okay, everyone gets stuck. Just ask Jael, or worse, Jonah. This book is meant to “unstick” you. You’ll meet angry and worn out people who―like you―desperately needed God. You’ll see how God seeks out his people in spite of themselves. You’ll discover again that the Bible is worth every moment you devote to it. With a devotional reading for each day of the year, this book will guide you through the Bible―the whole blessed thing―helping you turn your eyes towards Jesus with every step. And who knows? You may end up reading past Leviticus this time.
Anne Kennedy lives in upstate New York, where she mothers her six young children and helps her husband keep body and soul together in the pastoring of a small Anglican church. Having grown up in French-speaking West Africa and traveled all over the world, she is constantly surprised to wake up every morning in her gently-fading small American town which, even after 16 years, still feels like the end of the world.
Anne has a B.A. from Cornell University and an M.Div. from Virginia Theological Seminary.
So, I can’t recommend this book. But I did really enjoy it. Some days were too sarcastic and irreverent, sometimes the theology seemed off, but other days were fantastic. I get her sense of humor. And she has a way with word pictures and analogies that sticks with me. I wrote down the numbers of all my favorite entries in the back of my book for reference, but out of 365 there were about 50 gems, in my opinion.
