Habits of the Heart
365 Daily Exercises For Living Like Jesus
by: Katherine Butler
(A Book Review)
They say don't judge a book by the cover. However, this book is beautiful inside and out. The outside is made to look realistically like stained wood with rose gold lettering and a cute heart. It's simple, yet elegant. It makes you want to set it out on your shelf, but yet it's small enough to carry in your purse.
The devotionals within the book are absolute soul food for every level of believer. I truly feel like each devotional applies to me within my daily life. Each devotion has a title, verse, short (very short) devotional and an exercise to live it out the verse.
I recently wrote a review where I was displeased with a devotional due to the short daily reading. Yet, this devotional has the "do" that really makes up for it completely. The devotional itself may be short, but you also have a task that helps you live it out and really helps you grow in Christ.
The only thing I don't like about this book is the fact it's not available in paperback. I know the hardcover is the most beautiful book binding I've ever seen, but I like the option. It also should be noted it goes by the date and some find that annoying. However, I find it a motivator to know that I'll be reading the days devotion on the day it's dated. If it wasn't for it, I would be tempted to put off reading.
I received this book for free from Tyndale Publishers in exchange for this honest review.
