Book Review: 40 Ways to Get Closer to God

I recently have had the privilege of reviewing a copy of 40 Ways to Get Closer to God, by Jerry MacGregor. What a wonderful little book!

The book is designed with very short daily readings followed by an action step that you can do to get closer to God. I loved this design because I get tired of Christian devotionals that focus solely on head knowledge when heart knowledge and action is also vital to a vibrant Christian faith.

One of my favorite parts, albeit silly, was that each day had a short area for you to write notes on whatever "project" you had completed. It also, much to the joy of my anal retentive heart, had a check box for you to mark the project complete. Could you ask for anything more? But seriously.

On another silly note, I loved the size of the book. Not only is it short in length, but it is small in size as well. It fits in my purse, or for guy, it could fit in a cargo pocket. I can easily see myself going through this devotional once a year if not more frequently. It is that much of a gem. Get one for yourself, you won't regret it!
