Duh-Votions

by Sue Buchanan

Sue Buchanan charms audiences wherever she goes, revealing the terrible truth about herself: "I may as well tell you because you'll figure it out anyway: I'm not that deep. I'm shallow. But I'm deep for a shallow person. What I've found out about God is that he is totally trustworthy, and I can relax in his plans. And besides that, all he wants is -- Are you ready for this? -- for me to be his person. Just be his person, for heaven's sake! All I can say to that is, Duh! Who knows? Next I may be writing a six-volume Bible commentary!" Sue offers a merry and witty look at life from the "shallow" end of the gene pool in sixty fun devotions, sure to leave you laughing and pondering some of life's most important lessons. This very funny lady shows us all that we don't have to be "deep" to hear God's voice. All we have to do is listen and we'll find his message about love and redemption in even the smallest details of everyday life.

[Laura · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book. It's definitely not a "deep" read by theological standards, but it is a worthy read if you are looking for something that has a lighthearted but sincere approach to an important topic (salvation). It is devotional in nature (hence the name), and certainly would work as a daily devotional book, but I really enjoyed reading it straight through. There are some real laugh out loud moments, which is a nice change from the norm on spiritual topics.

WARNING: Not a book for those who disdain silliness or who are looking for a serious, meaty treatment of the subject in question. When I say it's a light read (the author herself says shallow), it is indeed that, but it's fun & funny & imbued with truth.
