Growing With Purpose..... A Devotional

   Growing with Purpose elevates God’s grace to its proper place, above sin, where love always triumphs over lists of rules, where no one is forgotten, and where everyone gets more than a second chance. This one-year devotional is an unusual and compelling combination of conversational pictures, humorous prose, and practical suggestions firmly planted in biblical theology.

I meant to review this devitional around the beginning of the New Year, and it got lost in a stack of books. I remembered I had it today, so here is my review, a little later than I intended.

This is a 365-day devitional, but at least in my review copy, there are no dates, so you could start this any day of the year.

It is intended to go along with the Purpose Driven Life book, but can be read completely independent of that book.

I got the book a couple of months ago, so I obviously didn't go through all 365 days, but I read through several, and really like it. I can honestly say if I were looking for a good devotional, I'd have bought this one. The devotions are fairly short, sometimes humorous, but pack a punch. Each one starts out with a Scripture verse under the title of the devotion.

If you haven't got a good devotional for 2010, check out Growing With Purpose by Jon Walker. It is available from Zondervan Publishing.
