I found these devotionals to be a blessing because they kept me focused on the same area for many days. As a result, my orientation to God made a more fundamental shift than when I just read the equivalent chapter in Your Best Life now.

A second value of these devotionals was to show me where I wasn't moving closer to God with an obedient heart and spirit. By returning to those devotionals on a regular basis, I could do "extra homework" which I needed!

The book's main weaknesses are two:

1. The first Bible reading of the day is referred to rather than quoted. This saves space but leaves the reader juggling the Bible and the devotional. Of course, anything that gets me to open the Bible up an extra time is good. The problem is that some (me included) may not always open up the Bible to read the relevant verses.

2. The different topics aren't treated with equal amounts of material. As a result, you may get more than you want of some topics . . . while less than you want of others. Here's the layout:

Part One--Enlarge Your Vision pp. 3-51 (16 devotionals)
Part Two--Develop a Healthy Self-Image pp. 55-103 (15 devotionals)
Part Three--Discover the Power of Your Thoughts and Words pp. 107-155 (15 devotionals)
Part Four--Let Go of the Past pp. 159-212 (17 devotionals)
Part Five--Finding Strength Through Adversity pp. 215-250 (11 devotionals)
Part Six--Live to Give pp. 253-280 (9 devotionals)
Part Seven--Choose to Be Happy pp. 283-308 (7 devotionals)

Your Best Life Now and this devotional are truly revolutionary and life changing. You need to read these books. They are not books to read at one sitting, even though you could. They are meant to be slowly discovered and pondered. My life began to change in the summer as a result of the first book and now the devotional reinforces what I learned throught the other one. I would also recommend any books by Joyce Meyer if you like this one. Do yourself a favor and get these books!
