A Habit Called Faith: 40 Days in the Bible to Find and Follow Jesus
Today's neurological research has placed habit at the center of human behavior; we are what we do repetitively. When we want to add something to our life, whether it's exercise, prayer, or just getting up earlier in the morning, we know that we must turn an activity into a habit through repetition or it just won't stick. What would happen if we applied the same kind of daily dedication to faith? Could faith become a habit, a given--automatic?
With vulnerable storytelling and insightful readings of both Old and New Testament passages, Jen Pollock Michel invites the convinced and the curious into a 40-day Bible reading experience. Vividly translating ancient truths for a secular age, Michel highlights how the biblical text invites us to see, know, live, love, and obey. The daily reflection questions and weekly discussion guides invite both individuals and groups, believers and doubters alike, to explore how faith, even faith as small as a mustard seed, might grow into a life-defining habit.

Jen has done such a wonderful job introducing the Christian faith through the books of Deuteronomy and John. Not many people would be brave enough to begin such a journey in Deuteronomy, but Jen makes this obscure Old Testament book accessible for beginners.
Her warm style of writing draws readers along. She connects the Old and New Testaments in a way that respects their differences while highlighting what they have in common. This book would be great to read with a small group of people who are exploring Christianity.
Thanks, Jen, for your good work!

Or maybe it's the longing for real faith that acts like a lure. Maybe it's impossible to pretend that we're not hungry for a word from God. Even if we've kept to our forty-day commitment, we can easily despair when our engagement with the Bible produces little visible results-when it doesn't make us instantaneously more loving, less anxious, more joyful, less fearful. Are we doing it wrong if it doesn't microwave us into saints? The payoff of reading Scripture is not usually found in the occasional epiphanies, when God thunders with an unmistakable word. The blessing is in the habit. Habits reap rewards-but the kind of rewards that require patience to notice, then measure.
I actually finished this one way back so I had to refresh. Habits good and bad can make us more productive or habits can make us lazy. I see that in myself. I am trying to be more intentional in my good habits because they do not come easily for me. And usually the habits we form, we do not see the good or bad until its to late. Our habits reflect the goodness of God in the way we live life. The book is not behavior modification but a rediscovery of faith.
Jen's writing is very conversational and relatable to the struggles of faith. It is a great resource to remember the strength of faith in a fallen world.
A special thank you to Baker Books and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.

I read all 'Christian' devotionals cautiously regardless of the author. I look for fluffy content or sloppy uses of Scripture. I have a couple of days left in this book, but I don't recall at any point feeling unsure about the author's handling of Scripture. Each day is well written and the 2 questions at the end of each reading are thoughtful and convicting.

In A Habit Called Faith, each devotional reading is paired with Scripture, taking the reader through most of Deuteronomy and the entire Gospel of John. The book includes discussion questions and a chapter from the above Scriptures to read each day. I typically do not use devotionals; however, I actually purchased this one by accident after a friend sent me the link (a tap and scroll mishap!) So I decided I should definitely read this one!
A Habit Called Faith became a daily enjoyment and encouragement in my walk with the Lord as I read along. The author’s insights highlighted elements in the Scripture that are easily glossed over, helping the reader connect the Old and New Testament readings with God’s purpose in sending Christ. This devotional is a worthy tool to add to your arsenal. Each day’s reading will help you cultivate a habit of trusting God and faithful living. In A Habit Called Faith, you will dive deep into the redemptive purposes Jesus fulfilled through Deuteronomy and John’s Gospel.
Author Jen Pollock Michel communicates the importance of viewing faith habits not as religious ritual that leave us empty but authentic ways to pursue growth in relationship with God. It is full of purpose as we seek to know, love and obey God, intentionally seeking to practice our faith in a way that demonstrates love for God and others.
A few of my favorite quotes from the book:
“…the Bible is God’s book—and God’s story. As we turn its pages, we look to grow in understanding of God’s character: how he loves, why he forgives, what he promises.”
“To love God with all of our heart, with all of our soul, and with all of our might, we will need more of his help to keep at the habit of remembering.”
“Christian faith . . . is not a grappling with ideas about God. Instead, it’s an encounter with—and surrender to—the living, speaking God of Jesus Christ: the God to be seen and touched and heard. As the Evangelist tells us at the end of his Gospel, John hasn’t written simply to convey information about this Jesus. Rather, he wants us to believe in Jesus as the Christ, the Sent One, the Son of God—and to have life in his name.”
The devotional ends in a way that touched me deeply, because the truths quoted were those I once sung verbatim even before God opened my eyes in salvation: “Christ has died. Christ has risen. Christ will come again”. Those words in the book are followed with the question, “How will you respond?” And I am so grateful that God moved upon my heart to respond to Him, enabling me to come to Him and believe these truths in my own heart. In this another great habit of faith was brought to mind: remembering what God has done, remembering when He brought us to Himself in salvation.
This book quickly became one of my favorites, a huge surprise for someone who typically dislikes devotionals. I highly recommend it!

My husband typically will not read devotional books. He finds them overly simplistic and formulaic. Not this one. We read A Habit Called Faith together through Lent and both truly enjoyed it. Jen is very skilled at taking Scripture, turning it upside down and inside out and in the process, helping us to understand why reading and thinking about Scripture is one of the best disciplines we can develop.

With so little time available in the average day for faith formation, I want to be diligent and focused–no fooling around on rabbit trails or trivialities. The believers I most admire (from historical figures like Blaise Pascal to book mentors like Elisabeth Elliot) stress the importance of establishing habits of holiness, so when I learned that Jen Pollock Michel had written a book titled A Habit Called Faith: 40 Days in the Bible to Find and Follow Jesus, she had my immediate attention.
Michel argues that habit is not equivalent to empty ritual–a message that could be considered controversial in a culture that decries “going through the motions” in favor of something more “spontaneous” or “authentic.” Making a practice of our faith, showing up in the presence of God, opening the pages of scripture by faith can be a powerful routine, and Jen offers a forty-day trellis upon which the habit of faith may grow.
A reading schedule that travels through most of Deuteronomy and the entire gospel of John is supported by brief chapters offering background, clarification, parallel passages, and the author’s own unique insights. It’s a good beginning, and if your own habit today has been to forget God and to live disconnected from his truth, this book may offer you a turning point for continuing the good work God has begun in you.
Many thanks to Baker Books and Net Galley for providing a copy of this book to facilitate my review, which is, of course, offered freely and with honesty.

I use devotionals sparingly, preferring to wrestle through the text on my own. That being said, I do use them on occasion. The author, the fact that she chose Deuteronomy (my favorite book of the Bible) and John (my favorite gospel), and the possibility to read it with a friend, are the reasons I chose to read A Habit Called Faith. On all fronts, it was a gift of a book to go through.
A Habit Called Faith walks you through Deuteronomy and the gospel of John in forty days while helping form a habit of reading the Bible with intention. It’s engaging, thought provoking, and approachable. A great tool to start a reading habit of Scripture, to ease into/warm up to the Old Testament, or survey its connection to the New Testament. Jen's writing is beautiful and insightful.
The stories interwoven with the study are inspiring and helpful. Each chapter is succinct, and the questions are a great resource to unearth what the depth from Scripture means for us right now.
A wonderful resource to do with your small group, or by yourself. I read it with a church friend, and we both agreed it also makes a great tool to read alongside a friend who is new to faith, or considering Christianity.
I first got it on Kindle and soon after bought a printed copy because I wanted to have it in our personal library for future reference, and to lend. I recommend Jen Michel's writing in general. A real gift to any reader. A great resource to both the believer and the curious.

Jen Pollock Michel's latest book does something that few other books have pulled off which is to offer a daily reading plan in the Bible that goes much further beyond the typically light (and sometimes overly sentimental) passages found in devotionals. Over the course of forty days I learned a lot about the books of Deuteronomy and John, how the two connect, and what lessons they hold for growing faith. This is a devotional that's not a devotional.
Something I've appreciated in all of Jen's books is her ability to offer gospel truth accessible for everyone including those who've never attended a church before, or are living in a season of doubt. She is authentic, a good storyteller, and a wise teacher. I also appreciate how each chapter offers a reflection/discussion question. Whether you read it alone or with others, she asks participants to take a step towards "life-defining habit." The book also includes group discussion questions at the end for a more robust discussion.

My Thoughts:
I’d had my eye on this book before it was published because I subscribe to Jen Pollock Michel’s blog. Then, I read Charity Singleton Craig was leading a mini-reading-study of the book. So I jumped right in with Charity’s motivating blog posts about the book.
I love A Habit Called Faith. I love the title. I even love the Bible books read. Which leads me to the first reason why I love this book:
1. The Bible readings are of the entirety of the two Bible books. The readings are not a picking and choosing of certain verses but of the whole of those books.
2. Deuteronomy is a Bible book that is not examined enough in Christian publishing. I believe this is an aptly chosen Bible book.
3. I love the introduction. Jen Pollock Michel builds her case for writing this book by sharing about a party she attended. When the host introduced her as a believer and later she told a person what she did for a living-a Christian writer-the people already had preconceived ideas about Christians. They didn’t know what else to say and were ready to leave the conversation.
Michel explains later her belief is not a superstitious type thing.
“Faith is not the stubborn insistence, contrary to hundreds of years of scientific observation, that the world is flat. Instead, faith looks a lot like the kind of belief all people practice. It is decided by reason and by emotion, by empirical experience and by gut instinct. Faith is not a rejection of evidence but a careful consideration of it, including the study of sacred texts.” Page 21.
4. Day One is the first few verses of Deuteronomy. There is a God. God is with His people. The words are from God. God spoke to the people through his servant Moses. I love the easy to understand and straightforwardness of Michel’s book.
5. Day Eight is on Deuteronomy 7:1-26. An excellent definition of jealousy is in this chapter.
6. I love the various quotes and personal stories from C. S. Lewis, John Donne, and Rt. Rev. Mark J. Lawrence Bishop, The Anglican Diocese of South Carolina.
7. Wonderful one line memorable quotes are in the book. Some of my favorites: “It takes faith to keep following Jesus-even when the lights go dark.” Page 134. “Faith can begin with as simple a habit as curiosity.” Page 130.
8. The discussion questions are wonderful. These questions are brief but deep.

An excellent study to go through if you're looking to reestablish a habit of daily Bible reading, or as a new believer, or any time!
The first 20 days Michel spends in Deuteronomy (that famous place where people abandon their Bible-in-a-year plans), and the second 20 in John. So you really get to examine who God is and what He says about Himself and His people in scripture. Interspersed throughout are mini biographies of believers who in some way came to belief by practicing the habit of faith.
She's made it very adaptable so there is one chapter of scripture a day but if you find that too daunting she gives some focus verses within the chapter. There are also a devotional and two contemplation questions each day. She handily provides a suggested eight-week schedule for groups, including a whole section of group discussion questions in the back.
If you're looking for a good guided general study, this is a solid option.

Jen Polluck Michel is a great writer; she's poetic, and inviting. This 40 day devotional is designed to help you build a habit of faith, by digging deep into the Word every day for...40 days. Each devotional is a blend of story and teaching that ushers you through the books of Deuteronomy and the Gospel of John, with reflection questions at the end of each, and a collection of group discussion questions at the end. This is an excellent resource for the Lenten season, but could be used anytime. Often devotionals are story-driven, but if you are looking for something with more "meat," this one could be for you.

This 40 day devotional is a thoughtful exploration of faith that would be helpful for one searching or a new believer, but also for a seasoned believer who wants to renew a habit of daily of Bible reading. Jen’s pairing of Deuteronomy and John gives fresh insights and connections between the Old and New Testaments and the interspersing of contemporary testimonies makes clear the relevance of faith in today’s world. The book is set up in a flexible way so that that it could be used for personal or group study, during Lent or anytime. My only complaint is that I think she barely scratched the surface of all there is to say about faith as a habit, so Jen, write another book on this topic!
September 2, 2021
In "A Habit Called Faith", Jen Pollock Michel offers a 40-day devotional to developing what she refers to as the habit of faith. I enjoyed that she leaned heavily on both the Old and New Testaments (Deuteronomy and John, specifically) to illustrate the points she was making. Each day's devotional was easy to read and included study questions. Also interspersed throughout the book were testimonies of international believers and how they came to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
This would be a good devotional book for anyone looking to develop their faith. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

I received this free from good reads to review. I say I finished it, but really I couldn't keep reading it. Something in my spirit kept catching. It was like the Lord was convicting me on reading. This book may not be like this for everyone and everyone gets their own convictions so don't not try to read it. I just feel like some of the things the writer was saying in it was wrong. The part where only Monday through Saturday is suppose to be for God, is wrong. Every day is for God. Just because one day is suppose to be for rest doesn't mean you stop talking to God and following him.

I read this during lent and really felt my connection with Jesus grow during that time. I found myself looking forward to the daily scripture reading and Jen’s accompanying reflection. Her reflections often didn’t focus on what I thought they would from the related Bible passage, and instead opened up a whole new avenue for me to ponder. Thought-provoking, well-written and inspired! I recommend to anyone looking for a spiritual journey.
May 1, 2021
The format (a Bible verse, a personal story, then a Q & A section) is one many have used, but it usually ends up being pretty light on content, a Hallmark-y inspiration book. Michel goes much deeper with her personal stories, communicating ideas that go beyond usual Sunday School material and will appeal to educated adults who didn't grow up in church.
June 30, 2021
Nothing cheesy or simple about this devotional - even though it’s written to be accessible to readers who’ve never darkened the door of a church. It asks clear, tough questions of Deuteronomy and John, and invites us to honesty as we listen for answers. Deeply enriching.
June 6, 2022
Excellent 40 day devotional book that weaves together Deuteronomy and John and encourages the reader towards a life of daily growth. Jen Pollock Michel is one of my favorite authors and this is a book I will return to again.
July 5, 2022
Don't take how long it took me to finish this devotional as a lack of enjoyment. I was listening to these lessons on Audiobook so I waited for opportune moments to listen and journal. Highly recommend!

Excellent devotional to work through!

It’s a long read if you don’t get to it daily but oh, so powerful. Jens writing is deep and thought provoking.

This is a beautiful book of 40 daily readings which is suitable for individual or group study. Our daily lives are full of habits but what if we were to intentionally grow a habit pattern of digging deeper into God and growing our faith? What if we were to court the habit of praying more or reading our bibles more? Jen takes us through New and Old Testament passages and uses them to teach us how to apply them as a habit in our spiritual lives in a relatable way. I highly recommend it.
August 1, 2021
While this book was well written and the author knowledgeable on the subject, it just wasn't what I would recommend to my friends to help them with their growth in faith. Maybe it was slightly bland.
Thank you to Goodreads Giveaways and the publisher for this copy.

I started reading this and then realized this would be the perfect book to read through the season of Lent. However, what I have read so far, is good encouraging biblical truth that will be helpful. So for now it goes back on my pile to read and I will start again on February 14!
