Subtitle
Devotions that Bring Awakening and Transformation
Author: Dr. Zach Prosser
Brief overview
90 days of devotions spread out over about 203 pages. Minus the introduction, copyright page, Table of Contents, etc.
The contents page is great for the quick reference of the titled topics for each day. If you are stirring for something specific to learn, a quick glance over the titles might be a way to jump in.
How I discovered this book
Do you guys remember when I made this announcement early in October?
“I participated in a virtual writer’s summit last week.
A publisher asked me to review a devotional for you guys! I said, “Yes”!
And… something else came from the summit…more about that in a couple of months!”
We still must wait on the second announcement…but for now…
Thank you, Tamera Lynn Kraft, Managing Editor of Mt Zion Ridge Press, for providing this devotional for review! It has been fun and engaging to study this devotional.
And I promise! I did am not providing this review for any compensation. The devotional was provided with absolutely no expectations told to me.
Since we all work from the same book/guidelines…the bible, I will gladly fulfill my word and review, Unprecedented Days: 90 Days of Fire.
What did I love about it?
First, the cover is beautiful. Its simplicity yet vibrant color flow catches my eye every time I look at it.
I enjoyed Dr. Zach Proccer’s heart for drawing the reader closer to a personal revival that can then be reflected in their lives around them.
The scriptural references, questions he poses to the reader, and serval points to ponder for each day, making every day a deep dive.
Dr. Prosser quotes other authors of the faith.
To name a few:
Matthew Henry
A.W.Tozer
Jonathan Edwards
I personally find this helpful should I want to further explore the topic for that day, I know who I can look up to research.
Dr. Prosser does not shy away from hot topics in the faith or in society.
What I didn’t like about it
On some days, the switch from the author’s writing voice to sizable quotes of other writers overwhelmed me at times.
You might notice this was also something I liked about the book in the section above. Very observant of you. At times the switch did not flow easily for me.
BUT…as I say one other place in this review, this is what makes each day like a mini-sermon. Packed with a lot of steppingstones for each day.
Who would want it?
Have you ordered lobster before? Shell and all.
Working the meat out the shell with the special fork. Finally, success waits on the prongs ready to dip it into the butter sauce. A delicacy to be savored.
If you are searching for a deeper knowledge of God’s love with the knowledge this is not something to keep to yourself, this would be a solid choice for you.
Who would not want it?
Do you prefer eating a sugar sprinkled blueberry-filled muffin? Soft and oh so easy to gain the sweet truth of God. This is not for you.
Also, I would not recommend this for the newer person to the bible. There are many references to scripture that prior knowledge would be helpful.
For example, at the end of day five, there is a reference to the sleeping virgins. Yet there is no verse reference and no explanation about that story. There is the assumption that the story is known. You will find this story in Matthew, chapter 25, for those of you who are curious.
Did it bear fruit?
Yes. Yes, it did.
Many readings made me pause and reflect several times a day.
There was one day early on, with the image of an apple and its seeds that I just can’t get out of my thoughts.
You’ll have to pick up a copy to find out what that is all about. :^)
It is a great feast
Unprecedented Days: 90 Days of Fire is a devotional I would want to read several times.
It reminded me of how Oswald Chambers’s book, My Utmost for His Highest is laid out. Thick with scripture references and a lot to digest.
Question for you
I have shared before how I am regularly learning how to improve my writing craft. I would love to ask you, what are you learning about this week or month…and why? Do tell! In the comments below.
