365 Devotions to Love God and Love Others Well embraces its readers with a hug. Published by Zondervan and
written by Victoria York, this heavy, small book with pink-hewn illustrations has
a clear purpose: to “lean into the warm embrace of someone who loves you
perfectly.”
In reading these devotions, the love
God has for me is undeniable, and as her readers experience the warm embrace of
God’s unconditional love, York empowers them to love others. The messages are
subtle and can be felt.
Dates are given for each devotional,
and each one-page devotional that can be easily digested in one minute includes
a title, Bible verse, thought (with a relatable scenario like talking to a
neighbor or planning for a vacation, a Bible story, or a world event), and a
prayer. York leaves her readers with calls to action: loving people well,
taking someone under our wing as a mentee, and more.
As I read these devotions, I found
myself searching my soul as my shortcomings were exposed when it comes to
holding back forgiveness or manipulating loved ones.
The Bible verses at the top of each
page give readers a choice: open their Bibles for further study or simply read
the verse. Also, the pages are durable and will easily last year after year. Complete
with a presentation page, this book would make a beautiful gift.
The
publisher has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book through
BookSneeze®. I was not required to write a positive review.
