When I read them I feel like I am reading the same thing over and over again. I have been getting very bored with devotional books lately since most of them have the same feeling and reading material. (Disclosure: B&H Publishing provided me with a copy of Awaken in exchange for my honest review.) If you are looking for a new devotional to help usher you closer to the Lord, I would highly recommend Awaken. This is an essential piece to understanding the Scriptures and awakening your heart to listen for the voice of God. I appreciated the single reflection question that accompanied each devotion, along with the ample space to write answers. Shiver has a gift of words that allows her to bring the reading to a conclusion with memorable phrases that will linger in the reader's mind throughout the day. Each of the devotions includes a Scripture lesson with an illustration to help fully explain the life application of the lesson. The sense of stillness and of seeking the Lord comes through in the each of the 90 devotions. In the introduction, Shirer describes how the devotions were taken from her own personal journals as she sought the Lord.

Priscilla Shirer is known for her books and Bible studies, but Awaken marks the first time she has distilled her message and insights into a devotional format. Disclosure: Ebook received through Net Galley courtesy of B&H Publishing in exchange for my honest review. it's definitely a treasure that I highly recommend. I will be purchasing a physical copy of this book as soon as I can. She brings the Word of God alive and applicable to our daily lives. I love how Priscilla takes a scripture and makes it personal. What is our Ninevah? Where is the place that we never want to go? Or who is the person that God wants us to forgive? Or what is that thing that we feel deep in our heart that God wants us to do? Out of fear or rebellion, we choose not to listen to that still small voice of God. Priscilla Shirer then relates this story to our own lives, and asks questions that we should reflect upon. He was instructed to go to Ninevah, and his immediate response was negative.

It's the story of Jonah, when God spoke to him as recorded in the first chapter of Jonah. One of my favourite daily segments is on Day 17. Priscilla Shirer has recently become a favourite author, actress, and teacher, and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to review her latest release, this great ninety day devotional.
