How I found this book and why I selected it.

I was online at Christianbooks.com searching for a reading book one of my girls requested. This devotional, Resting in His Shadow, popped up on my screen. It was different from others I have been reading to review.

What did I love about it?

I loved the idea of meditating on God’s word at night. Chriswell Freeman delivers the promise of the title while drawing an end to the day.

I spend my time in devotionals and the Bible in the early morning before my family wakes up. That is my treasured quiet time with the Lord.

When do you have your quiet time with God? Please share in the comments.

Freeman has 100 days of devotions packed into a small paperback book.

Each devotion draws upon known biblical truths tied to familiar Bible verses. Freeman makes logical connections giving something solid to chew on.  His writings are not complicated or simplistic.

I have enjoyed reading, Resting in His Shadow.

What I didn’t like about it?

A few days out of the 100, no Bible verse was used. These were topic-based devotions. For example, hope, fulfillment, and perseverance.

It broke from the pattern of Bible verse, reflective thought, and ending with a prayer.

I don’t know that I would say I didn’t like that shift, but it broke the flow for me. And, I felt I should let you, my reader know.

Who would want it?

I think this devotional might be marketed toward men. But I did enjoy what Freeman wrote and the points he brought up.

Who would not want it?

Honestly, I think this is a good devotional for the masses.

Did it bear fruit?

Yes. This devotional inspired me to place a Bible on my nightstand. And there it lays, open, to a verse I am reflecting upon each night as I slip into bed.

I think his point of the devotional is to encourage evening time in the Scriptures, and it did that.

Until next week, keep walking on mustard seeds!
