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 :)

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books . For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

First Line Friday: The Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...
