Reader Review . . .

40 Days with the Savior is a 40-day devotional designed to be read in the days leading to Easter, but it could be read at any time throughout the year.  It is a short book, made up of one-page daily readings, each dedicated to a specific characteristic of Christ.  Think of it as an updated version of "WWJD" from a few years ago.  Each reading ends with the author asking the reader to reflect upon how they, the reader, can show more of that particular characteristic in their own life.  

The devotionals include:

  • He Sacrified for Others
  • He Turned from Materialism
  • He Did the Right Thing
  • He Influenced Others for Good
Anyone looking for a new devotional and looking to be more like Jesus will enjoy this book.  Normally, I delete review copies from my e-reader (it only holds so much, you know), but I will be keeping this one to read again and again.  If your goal is to be a kinder and happier person, buy a copy for yourself, and buy a second copy to share with a friend.

5 stars
