If you've never read any of Ann Voskamp's books the description of the book pales dramatically to her actual written word. She's a master at words that evoke images, emotions and a desire to draw closer to God. Her writing is raw, heart-felt, stirring, shocking and transparent. She allows us glimpses into her own heart to help us better understand the heart of God. This lovely book is filled with photographs of her farm, home, and family. From a bowl of cherries to the wheat fields to a child's toes we are drawn into her intimate world. This book is a devotional book with a challenge. The challenge to spend 60 days giving of ourselves to a hurting world. She invites us to give sacrificially as Christ gives to us. She challenges us to go outside of our comfort zone and use our imagination to find ways to "pay it forward" to someone who is hurting. She gets down to the gritty realities of our hesitation to do good for those who rub us the wrong way and asks us to give of ourselves to them in a meaningful way. The end of the book has pages where the reader can write how they lived given in that day - for 60 days. Then there are 60 heart challenge ideas on how we can pour out ourselves to be a gift to others.
I received this book from BookLook but was not required to write a positive review.
