I don’t know about you, but I tend to have trouble with
devotionals. I’ve purchased some wonderful devotionals that I start off reading
each night and slowly become bored and finally give up on them. I like to be
engaged and sometimes, after a long day at work or dealing with cranky kids, I
don’t have the mental capacity to truly meditate on the devotions as they were
intended. This leads to feelings of guilt and I become so overwhelmed that the
devotional sits on my side table, never to be opened again.
Where God Finds You by Anita Higman is a true
solution to the problem of boring devotionals! Open up this devotional and you
will find Bible stories for adults. Each character of the Bible receives a name
and background story even when the Bible does not supply it. Higman combines
background information about Biblical characters, Bible texts, and a little
imagination, and creates a devotional that pulls the ancient text into the
modern world and is sure to please.
The reason I have fallen so hard for this devotional is
because of the creativity of writing Bible stories for the adult reader. I am a
very creative person and I find that most devotionals are one-dimensional and
often call for the reader to have quite an extensive background in Bible
reading where this devotional is appropriate for the new Christian to the life-long
Jesus-follower. There are questions at the end of each devotion to take the
reader further and this book is perfect for reading during quiet snatches of
time for the busy mom, student, or anyone who is interested in growing in his
or her understanding of the historical figures in the Bible.
