My Review
I've been reading Jeanette's blog posts for years now. I've always loved her honesty but also her encouraging heart. While I don't normally read devotionals, when I opened her book, here's what I found: A Bull and a Realization.
This first chapter devotion was so funny and yet so true. I could completely relate in more ways than one. I also think the 20 yr old Jeanette was probably a very fun person (kind of like the Jeanette I know now.) Anyway, while devotionals aren't normally my thing, funny stories that point to spiritual truths are. I love the conversational, easy style of Jeanette's devotionals as well as the depth to them.
Need a devotional for 2012? This one seems perfect. :-)
