I read Liz Curtis Higgs' book 31 Verses to Write on Your Heart back in November. But then came "the event", otherwise known as a hemorrhagic stroke, so I was unable to tell you how much I liked this book.
Liz Curtis Higgs is a favorite author, so when I was given the opportunity to review this book I was very excited to see what she had in store for us. I found this book much like sitting down with a good friend and having a conversation about the Scripture. Since these days sitting and reading a book is not a skill that has come back to me yet, I'm glad I read it before "the event", and thankful that I remember it!
As I was looking back over this book this morning, my eyes landed on one of my favorite passages of Scripture, 1 Thessalonians 5:15...In everything give thanks... This was a passage I often called to mind in the days following my stroke. I'm glad this is one of the passages Liz chose as the 31 Verses to Write on Your Heart!
31 Verses is a great book to read if you enjoy sitting with a friend talking about the Scripture, because that is exactly what this feels like. This is a great book to read if you feel like your devotional time has gotten a little stale and you need some help getting "back in the habit." This is a great book if you are new in the faith and need some help getting started in the Scripture. It's a great book to give to friends, and it's a great good to gift to yourself.
I'm glad I read it, and I hope you will too.
