book-review-longing-for-more-by-timothy-willardThis book is a devotional set up with readings for 5 days a week for a whole year. Each week is themed which helps keep it flowing.
As per the author’s declared purpose to inspire and to challenge, it is meant as a supplement to your daily Bible reading and devotions and not as a replacement to those.
Each day’s reading is a snack-sized tidbit to reflect on, not enough to feed and live on but enough to provide a nice focus for each day.
A word that kept coming to my mind as I was reading this book was ponder. I believe we were meant to ponder, that is, slow down, and actually think about each entry.
I found this book to be refreshingly different. It seemed a blend of the intellectual and the poetical. Another good word to describe it overall was, intriguing.
It was not stuffy nor cookie-cutter. Mr. Willard was masterful with words and there was no unneeded fluff.
I happen to greatly enjoy C. S. Lewis but for people who don’t they need to know that he is heavily quoted in this book.
If you are looking for a devotional that is clearly different from the ordinary and that is only meant as a supplemental focus for your day then check this book out!
