40 Days with God: Time Out to Journey Through the Bible

by Kent Hickey

How much time is enough to be with God? While it could be the 40 days or years used so often in the Bible, it’s also possible that simply stealing a few minutes from the busy-ness of each day is enough time to be in Kairos, “God time.” The same is true for the space needed to find God. Whether it be in a deserted place or one filled with activity, whatever space we can carve out to find God—or to make enough room to be found—is enough space. This book is about being with God in short time and tight spaces. The journey is taken through and with the Bible, 40 reflections based on 40 passages from Scripture, starting with Genesis and ending with Revelation. For the prayerful reader, it is an opportunity to carve out God-space and God-time, a pilgrimage with God, toward God.

This was one of the least interesting devotionals I've read in the last few years - it's not a good sign when you're more annoyed with the author's stories and "youth today lack direction" tropes than you are inspired by the gospel. If you're a 65+ white man with an undying love of Flannery O'Conner, this might be the right book for you, but as a Gen X woman, I found it frustrating.

While this is an easy read, as a devotional, it wasn't an easy follow from the scriptures to the explanations. Also, I prefer devotional books that build from one chapter/section to the next and this doesn't accomplish that at all. It also didn't leave me wanting to explore more passages with these explanations.
