A Year With God

A Year With God is a devotional designed for day to day use. I have used similar books for years, and what I can say is that it does have good messages intended to help start your day out. There is always a small passage, story, or monologue for each day with corresponding verses and bible stories. I have been looking for a devotional that is more interactive, has more to read, has more questions to ask yourself, but this isn't that. This is good if you are looking for something to have when you only have about five minutes for your quiet time in the morning.

Outlive Your Life by Max Lucado

Max Lucado's Outlive Your Life is definitely a motivational book. After reading it I wanted to do all that I could to stay busy, help others, and stay glorifying God in all that I do- AND try to break the old habits of spending so much time watching TV and facebooking. Not only did it ask the reader to take action, but it also gave personal stories of people who are out there making a difference in the world. It also uses specific people from the bible that God used to help his people, to spread His Word. This book is a good reminder of why we are here on earth as Christians and what we are called and demanded to lovingly do.
