If I'm being fully honest here, I have a really hard time getting into devotional/non-fiction books. However I have to say I very much enjoyed this book. I found for me it was easier to take it slower (Read a few chapters a night, rather that read it straight through). This book was fantastic, I love how deep into the original meaning of some of the scriptures Keri Wyatt Kent went. In some places it really completely changed the understanding I had of the scripture used! I especially enjoyed the chapter about the word "Love". (As someone who did take Greek in college, I was aware a bit of the different meanings, but this book took me even deeper into that and made it much easier to understand and apply!) I love the section that talks about agape love, (I find that its almost over used in a lot of settings, but the author here opens us up to new understandings with it!) We know God is agape (self-sacrificing, unconditional love) but I was unaware that when Jesus tells us to love the Lord your God, its agapao, and again when he tells us to love our neighbor!
This book opened up a whole new understanding of God's wonders and love, I'm excited to get into the Bible and discover more of what God is saying to us!
