In forty devotional tales, Where God Finds You breathes new life into ancient Bible characters. Live with and learn about more than forty Bible men and women, including the wife of Pontius Pilate, Esther, John the Baptist, Delilah, Lazarus, and Mary Magdalene.
Through reflection on Scripture and prayer, you’ll discover a place in each of these lives of vulnerability, tenderness, truth, and love—a place where you can find God . . . and where God finds you.
Where God Finds You is unique among women’s devotional books in that it brings dozens of men and women of the Bible to life through dramatic short stories, connects biblical truths to today’s culture, and offers readers an opportunity to reflect on what they’ve learned. Each devotion features:
• A dramatic retelling of Scripture that allows the reader to crawl into the pages of the Bible.
• The Story from God’s Word: a quote or paraphrase of the applicable Bible passage in a reader-friendly version.
• The Story—From Then to Now: a personal reflection from the author to help link the passage to life today.
• The Story—Questions to Think About: prompts for personal reflection or group discussion that lead to practical application.
My thoughts: I am so pleased to be able to tell you about this wonderful book! I am always looking for devotionals because as a busy single mom blogger/teacher, I don’t always have time for an in-depth Bible study every single day. But I don’t like to skip days of spending time in God’s Word. I have spent my year going through Tony Dungy’s great devotional. And I am now ready for something new. Anita Higman has written a fantastic devotional that is easy enough read through, and it will last me at least forty days! Here is the basic set-up:
- Bible character tells the story of his/her life in a conversational way
- Actual story from the Bible
- Author’s devotional thoughts
- Questions to apply the story to your life
