As a busy mom of 2, it can be difficult to find time to spend with the Lord. And when I do have the time, it can be hard to decide what to read, and how to spend my time. Do I just dive right into the Bible? Never a bad idea, but sometimes it's easier to have some structure. Something to read to go along with a passage of scripture to help you delve deeper into what God is trying to say through His Word. No devotional is perfect, or is as close to the words and whispers of God as the actual Bible, but to me, the right kind of devotional book keeps me on track and helps make the Bible relatable and more easily applicable to my life.
And Awaken does just that. I have been a Priscilla Shirer fan for a while, and War Room is one of my all time favorite movies. I love just about anything she writes, and this devotional does not disappoint.
For 90 days, Priscilla will walk you into the presence of God, kneel with you at His feet, and allow His word to penetrate even the deepest recesses of your heart. Each daily devotional, or as she calls them, "devotional entrees," are about 2 pages long, starting and ending with passages of scripture. You'll read about Priscilla's life, her walk with the Lord, and how she was encouraged [and discouraged] along the way. Then there are 2 pages for you to answer a question pertaining to that devotional, or simply to journal out a prayer to the Lord.
Seriously, if you're looking for a devotional that will be easy and enjoyable to read, that will bring you into the heart of God, and into His word, this is the one to read. It's fabulous!

I tend to like in depth Bible study so I don't do many daily devotional type of books. But I have done several of Priscilla's Bible studies and decided that I'd give this one a try. So glad that I did. I know it's cliche to say that I was hooked from the beginning, but I was. The very first daily devotion is still resonating with me weeks later.
The set-up of the book is simple. There are ninety different devotions that start with a small portion of scripture and then follow with thoughts by Priscilla. Then there are questions to contemplate and and area to journal your thoughts if you desire.
As I said earlier I'm not usually drawn to this type of reading but I liked Priscilla's style in this. She presented each day's reading in a way that made you contemplate what it means in your life. The stories are hers but the situations are common to women so it was very easy to relate to the readings.
I thought that this would be a great morning and evening reading. It would also make a great gift to a friend. I thought it would be especially nice for that young mother that doesn't have gobs of time to do in depth Bible study but desires to stay in the Word amid the chaos of raising young children. Whether you decide to give it as a gift or use it yourself, I'm pretty sure that you won't be disappointed.
I received a copy of this book to facilitate my review.

Definitely the best devotional I've ever had. Prisicilla Shirer does an excellent job of capturing a provocative, meaningful theme is a few short words. Included with each daily devotion is a page for recording how God spoke personally and I found myself recording something almost every day. This devotional would be excellent for a new believer but also has depth for a mature Christian. I have actually purchased copies and given them as gifts since reading Awaken.
