A Year with Jesus by R.P. Nettlehorst

A Year with Jesus, written by R.P. Nettlehorst is a very well put together daily devotional. The book is divided up into different topical sections but each day has its own specific topic and passage. The subtitle of the book is “Daily Readings and Reflections on Jesus’ Own Words” and Nettlehorst does a good job of actually following that; for each day there is a passage from one of the gospels-the books of the Bible that are directly about Jesus’ life on earth and the words that he spoke. Every day’s devotion is only a page: short, but full of good meaning. One of the nice features about this devotional book is that it is categorized into different subtopics that are directly related to our everyday life: “Love and Hate”, “Truths and Lies”, “Arrogance and Humility”, “Friends and Enemies”, “Belief and Disbelief”, “Patience and Impatience”, “Deserved and Undeserved”, “”Good and Evil”, “Fidelity and Treachery”, and “Life and Death”. It is helpful because even though the days are numbered from 1 to 365 (rather than January1-December 31) you could easily move forward to a section that applies to what you are directly dealing with in certain stages of your life. I haven’t gotten extremely far into this book, but so far, I like it and it’s simple set up.
I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
