Right from the Heart is a 365 day devotional and it's a pretty good one. I think it would be especially good for a new Christian or someone with a lot of doctrinal questions because it deals with things that are unfamiliar to a lot of newer believers. It's also encouraging and enlightening for those older Christians, as well. Usually, I prefer to write my own devotionals and, when I do seek someone else's devotionals I like to be able to skip around. I don't like to be confined to just 1 page or 1 topic or a date at the top right corner. This book is meant to be savored for a year and is a bit rigid if you follow the guidance. I don't. I find a topic that sounds like what I need to read and I read it. I like this book that way, and wouldn't like it if I stuck to the daily scheduled reading.
Each daily devotional in Right from the Heart begins with a verse and then 3-4 paragraphs that expound on it and offer insight. This book isn't meant to replace your bible or prayer time, but it's a good starting point to your time with Jesus. You can read the first few pages of it here.
I definitely recommend Right from the Heart, especially if you're a new Christian or someone who's been a Christian for awhile but is finally starting to get serious. Besides that, it's a pretty book and would make a good coffee table decoration. Maybe a friend or family member will thumb through it and get inspired!
This book was provided to me by the wonderful people at Booksneeze in exchange for a thoughtful and honest review.
Sounds like a great read!
