I read a lot of devotionals.
A lot.
It's part of my job. I edit the Australian edition of a well-known international devotional and that involves lots of research, checking a wide variety of facts. In the course of such research, I inevitably encounter many many many devotionals. In addition, I often get asked to assess devotional writing by fellow authors.
Trust me, I'm exceptionally picky. I get jaded pretty quickly when I see the same-old, same-old.
When it comes to a personal choice, I now look for writing that is refreshing, easy-to-read and connects with me by pulling me into a story rather than preaching at me.
Living the God Imprinted Life is a revitalising and inspirational read. Uplifting in parts, heart-tugging at others, full of emotional punch at still others, this book combines the best story-telling with a relevant spiritual thought.
Thanks to Rick Leland for this book. It arrived as a surprise gift with his book, Jesus at Walmart, which I won in a Goodreads giveway.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It has very well-written sections about a variety of topics on the Christian life. It doesn't necessarily need to be read cover to cover, but topics can be easily accessed to encourage a reader in whatever struggle or issue they are facing at the moment. It would be a great gift book for a church to give to new members or visitors. I plan to pass it along to a lady in my Bible study, and hope whe will pass it along when she is finished as well.

This book was a clear reminder of what is important in ones life if we are to live and love well. Very easy to read and understand. Each section can be used as a daily weekly or monthly lesson/thought. I am going to send it to my grand children.
