God and Me by Lynette Harris Denton: Book Review

 4/5

This book was sent to me by Ambassador International to review. The opinions are completely my own and are not impacted by others.


With a devotional I am having to look at different criteria than I would for a normal work of fiction or nonfiction. One major factor is how much scripture it has and this devotional had a great amount of scripture for each day. Making it Bible based more than opinion based. As for the information that was provided, it was good solid information. Where it fell a bit short, was that with some of the devotions, they were a bit shorter than they could have been, which felt a bit shallow at times. I get that the author was trying to keep each devotion a page long, which is the perfect length for daily reflections, it just some were only half a page long. For the most part though, the author did a nice job of balancing length with scripture. A personal note, that does not impact my review, as it is simply a personal preference, is the guided prayer. I prefer my own prayers over guided prayers. It just seems insincere when someone else tells me what to pray. Again, it's a personal preference. 

Overall, I would probably recommend this book to those who want a short daily devotion.
