I don't often read devotionals, let alone buy one, but the availability of this book came across my Instagram feed on Aug 11. The book was dedicated to Dawn Jackson, a pastor, acquaintance and fellow runner. It was birthed out of hikes the author, Dawn and a group of women took on the trails of Southern California my former stomping ground.
As it turns out the next day I fell and suffered a trimalleolar fracture of my left leg; the same day the book was delivered. I began reading two days later after my release from the hospital and surgery.
The daily 5 minute read for the last 100 days coincided well with my estimated 3 month recovery. There were some definite low days in the beginning and the short reads lifted my spirits and centered my focus on the future and helped strengthen my family daily.
I'd recommend this to anyone going through a rough patch especially something limiting your physical ability. As a nearly daily runner spending weeks immobile on the couch, this book reminded me of a future better days and the hope we have in our Savior, Jesus Christ.
I love Christine Caine’s devotionals, this one was no different, it was fantastic. I wish it was more than a 100 days but each of the days devotionals is impactful in its own way and I took a lot from it.
I came across this devotional book while preparing for a retreat focused on developing spiritual resilience. It was a perfect fit for preparing my heart, and as I used it daily so many of the devotions were perfect for encouraging family and friends who were in the midst of trials. Before finishing it myself, I gifted copies to several friends in then midst of trials because of the content between the covers—but the book itself is perfectly published for gift-giving, too.
I was gifted this devotional by a person I look up to and a mentor figure. Normally I’m not too into devotionals, but I’ve heard good things about Christine Caine and since it was a gift, I knew I wanted to try reading it. My word for this year was “endurance,” so when I finished my last Bible plan and I saw “endurance” was in the subtitle for this book, I knew it was the right time to read it. I used it as a supplement to my daily Bible reading. God definitely used this devotional to speak to me what I needed to hear right when I needed to hear it. I found myself underlining and photographing pages to share with friends and loved ones. I would definitely recommend this devotional! It is biblically solid and Christine shares a lot of truth that ministered to my soul.
4.5 stars; good devotion; but misses mark of being Great
Actual 4.5 stars! Its a good and encouraging devotion but for me is misses the mark of being Great! How so? Too many devotions seem to encourage the reader to pull himself up and just do or be better; it lacks the consistency of pointing to Christ's grace alone which truly molds us with resilient hope! I enjoyed it, but after a certain amount of the legalistic daily devotional I simply started reading on to get thru larger portions of readings each day; it lost its appeal of having 100 daily devotions to ponder God's grace in Christ. So, for me, it misses the mark of a Great Daily devotional!
Christine Caine is a phenomenal communicator with a deep knowledge of the Word of God. This 100 day devotional was really good and had a bunch of gems that I was able to apply already to sermons and counseling appointments. For those of you that watched Sound of Freedom and are interested in good organizations that are doing work to end child slavery, her and her husband have an organization called A21 that is doing some great work. If you need a short daily devotional for 100 days, I’d for sure recommend this one.
This title says it all. When you've EXPERIENCED this most anointed devotional your life will never be the same. Don't rush through it so you can check it off as another devotional completed. Let God guide you to it and through it. When you surrender to His guiding it may take you a little longer than 100 days. Yet, you will find that everyday that you experience it, that it is food for your soul that heals every part of you. Thank you Christine for sharing God's heart through your obedient worship of writing.
I don’t really like to rate and/or “review” devotions, just because I feel like they are more personal readings, which each reader should hopefully take what they need from reading it and receiving God’s word. That being said, what I will say is that for me, I felt that this was a Scripturally sound devotional, with a lot of personal input from the author.
I really enjoyed this book. It was encouraging and focused on spiritual endurance in times of uncertainty. I especially liked the references to areas of hiking in San Diego that were familiar to me. Her style of writing and use of personal experiences throughout the devotional makes it easy to read and appreciate.
Daily devotions that start with scripture, story and application. About two pages per devotion. I found the author to be sincere and insightful with lots of pointing towards a hope and a future in Jesus.
Christine Cain is one of my favorites and she did not disappoint on this book. So many relatable stories and inspiring ways she uses God's word!! Thank you!!
These short devotions were just what I needed in a dry season of my life. While brief they provided just what I needed to start my day with a word of encouragement and hope. I would highly recommend.
