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 :)

Della and Darby by Susannah B. Lewis Review

Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by my little corner of the internet. My husband and I actually have this week off of work for a much needed holiday, and I'm excited for the many fun things we have planned. Aside from the fun things, I'm honestly thankful to have some extra time to get my house back in shape, and to get more organized for Christmas. I also hope to have lots of time to curl up with some great reads, and I recently had a chance to read one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Earlier in the year, I read my first novel by Susannah B. Lewis, and I couldn't have loved it more. It was definitely one of my favorite reads of this entire year, and I've been looking forward to reading her next release ever since.

First Line Friday: All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you're looking forward to the weekend. Today I'm excited to once again be linking up with Hoarding Books for First Line Friday. First Line Friday is one of my favorite weekly memes, and it simply consists of sharing the first line of the book you're currently reading. I've had a lot of extra reading time on my hands lately because of all the social distancing, and as such, I've been able to read a lot of the titles that have been sitting on my shelves for quite some time. Today's book is one of such titles, and I'm happy that I finally found the time to get to it as I'm really enjoying it so far. All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes by Betsy St. Amant: About the Book: Kat inspected rows of the same old cupcakes. They seemed to blink back at her, as if they knew she was capable of so much more. Kat Varland has had enough of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. At twenty-six years old...
