A Year with Jesus: Daily Readings and Reflections on Jesus' Own Words by R. P. Nettlehorst

_Book_478_cover-186×300.jpg” alt=”A Year with Jesus” width=”186″ height=”300″ />This daily devotion comes in an attractive sturdy paperback book. It is not a purse size book! But I couldn’t find anything that I would leave out! My favorite aspect of this book was the organization. First of all it is a yearly devotion without dates!

The devotions are numbered day 1, day 2, etc. This allows you to start it anytime of the year without feeling like you are behind. Next the author has

included an extensive table of contents with the sections covering:

 

Love and Hate

Truth and Lies

Arrogance and Humility

Friends and Enemies

Belief and Disbelief

Patience and Impatience

Deserved and Undeserved

Good and Evil

Fidelity and Treachery

Life and Death

Each day covers just one page, with the Bible text at the top and covering five to ten verses. This keeps you in the Word, but isn’t overwhelming to someone who dreads reading or study. Be warned, R.P. Nettlehorst is not afraid to step on your toes, this is for your good and will help you grow in your Christian walk.

My one complaint about the book is the variety or bible translations that are used. Eight different translations are used as the author searched for verses to match the devotions. I believe that we should write starting with a verse in mind and not the other way around. However, there is a lot of good in this book and this should not be held against it.
