ADVENT DEVOTIONS AND FUN FACTS

This month I’ve featuring two devotional books I’ve had part in.

I was saved about the same time I started playing piano—years before I wrote anything seriously. Over the years, I’ve had devotions published in about twenty books and in yearly magazines. I even went to Bible college, and then to Seminary. I’ve studied the Bible all the way through at least once, and read it so many times I can’t count.

That’s not to brag. . .it’s just the background to say: I have a compulsion to write a series of devotions about the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. An Advent Journey through Matthew is the first. I hope to publish a 30-day book covering Genesis and Exodus during January.

I chose 365 Day Fun Bible Fact Book as my featured book, because of the nature of the devotions. It’s didn’t start out as a “fun Bible fact book.” It started out as an unusual or even weird things in scripture. For instance, I wrote one asking about the Baker’s Dozen of the 12 tribes of Israel. It varies from place to place—check it and see.

And that’s how I approach my Bible study/devotionals. I look for those facts, for those things that make me say “How did I never notice that before?” And that becomes the focus of my story. I was excited to read and write the laws of Leviticus – in ways I’ve never felt before. That will be coming after the book on Genesis and Exodus.

Jump and enjoy!
