Consider Jesus: Daily Reflections on the Book of Hebrews by Donald R. Jacobs Review

Good Morning Bookish Friends :)

I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you've taken the time to drop on by The Preppy Book Princess today for another book review.

I'm Kirby, and I'm always thrilled to welcome you over to my little corner of the internet.

I'm a Christian gal who has been a voracious reader ever since I was a young child, and I particularly enjoy devouring titles that point the path to our precious Lord and Savior.

One of my more recent reading goals has been to read more Christian non-fiction. I want to spend more time studying the scriptures and learning more of the meaning behind them, and I'm enjoying finding titles that are helping me do so.

A couple of years ago, an elderly man who has been a longtime friend of my family's wanted to downsize his ginormous book collection. He told me to help myself to whatever books I wanted, and I ended up taking home quite a few.

A lot of these titles were either older/and or lesser known titles that I hadn't seen before, and it's been a fun experience getting to work my way through some of them.

Today's review is going to be for one of these titles.

My Review:

Consider Jesus was a wonderful breath of fresh air for me last year, and I loved getting to start each day by reading these inspirational reflections on one of the beloved books of the New Testament.

I love the idea of spending an entire year in one book of the Bible, as it allowed me to truly dive into each of the individual scriptures of the book of Hebrews, and reflect on just how powerful and prominent each single scripture in the Bible truly is. While I did continue to do many other Bible studies throughout the year, I loved getting to take a little time every single morning to spend time in Hebrews over and over again.

Donald R. Jacobs combines his daily devotionals with shared stories from his time in ministry, both in America and Africa, and I particularly enjoyed how he consistently stressed that he himself was not perfect either, and was just as much in need of the love of Jesus as the many people he was preaching too were.

All in all, this was a lovely read and I'd love to discover more yearly devotionals that focus entirely on one book of the Bible.

Final Rating: 4/5.

I'd definitely recommend this one to anyone who enjoys daily devotionals and/or anyone who has been wanting to dive more into the book of Hebrews.

Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)

Announcing My Temporary Hiatus From Book Blogging

Hello all my sweet bookish lovelies :) I pray you all had a lovely Christmas, and are looking forward to having a wonderful New Year's as well. I've shared a little bit of info over the past few months on my blog about why I wasn't around as often, but now it's time to share with you all exactly what that is. My hubby and I found out we were expecting earlier this year, and we had the immense pleasure of welcoming our precious baby boy into the world this month. Because of this, I've decided to take a temporary step back from book blogging and reviewing, while I adjust to being a first time mom to a newborn. I will definitely be back blogging in some form or another, but not sure at this point exactly when that will be as my little man deserves all of his mommy's attention right now. I thank you guys all for being a part of another wonderful year here on The Preppy Book Princess, and I look forward to jumping back into the Christian book community sometime in ...

A Refuge in Montana by Allie Pleiter Review

Happy Monday My Sweet Bookish Friends :) It's been awhile, how have you all been doing? Originally, I had hoped to be back doing at least semi regular book reviews by now, and since I had an author offer me an ARC copy right around when I wanted to start trying again, I figured I'd give it a go. Unfortunately, I've been dealing with some health complications post partum (which I really don't want to go into at the moment), and my energy is just not where it needs to be at this point. I'm excited to get to share this review with you all as I did enjoy the title and would love to tell you more about it, but this will be my only review for awhile, at least until we can get everything figured out with my health. With that being said, let's dive right into today's review, but first if you'd like to check out my reviews of the previous titles in the series, you can do so using the links below: Rescue on the Farm A Montana Sized Secret Otherwise, keep on read...

First Line Friday: The Joy of Falling

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you've had time to curl up with some great books. This week, Lindsay Harrel's newest book released, and I loved it when I had the chance to read and review it. I'm excited to feature it for this week's First Line Friday post which is hosted by the lovely ladies over at Hoarding Books.
