I’m so pleased to be able to feature and give away a copy of the newest book by Dianne Neal Matthews entitled, Designed for Devotion: A 365 Day Journey from Genesis to Revelation. This is especially an appropriate Give-Away because it’s the end of the year and guess what we often decide to do at the beginning of the year? Read through the Bible!
Dianne’s book is perfect for this. It is a daily devotional that starts on January 1st with an overview of the Bible and then on January 2nd, it focuses on Genesis. For the rest of the year, it moves through the Bible with pithy commentary and practical ideas. It will augment perfectly your reading of Scripture, whether or not you are reading through the whole Bible in a year or not.
I really appreciate Dianne’s goal in drawing her reader into a more intimate relationship with God. I think this book will be especially powerful as a gift for any new Christian whom you want to entice an interest in regular Bible reading and good, solid Bible knowledge. Dianne gives a thorough summary of each passage of Scripture, along with a related Bible verse, and important, interesting historical background. There’s also thought-provoking personal application.
But you‘ll appreciate it also, whether you use it as a companion to your daily Bible reading or just to pick it up and turn to any day’s devotional. You’ll find tantalizing insights that will make you spiritually hungry and thirsty to read the passage again and see God’s work.
