Hott Review:
It’s hard to review a devotional. I know that may sound odd, and I didn’t really realize it until I started to review this, but quite frankly, besides just being written well there is a lot of objectivity in these. Does the author believe what I believe? Does the author have the same view of references and events that I do? And of course, am I really giving the daily readings my full attention?
Well, luckily, Ms Sokol and I had some wonderful devotions together. Yes, I loved her devotions, but I found that when I could really devote myself to her writing that each day was a bit brighter.
The only real issue I had with this was a formatting issue and I’m pretty positive that was due to receiving an unformatted (ha!) ARC.
