This is the devotional that Brady and I are reading during 2013. I am a huge fan of the "I am Second" movement and I love watching the videos on their website.
In 2012 Brady and I didn't read any devotional, we just read our Bibles every day. A few weeks before Christmas as Brady and I were driving to church with JR and Dustin we asked them if they had been reading their Bibles lately...JR replied no, and he didn't even know where his BIble was at the moment. When asked why he wasn't reading, he simply replied that he didn't even know what to read or where to start.
I can definitely relate to the feeling. After that conversation I really felt like we (Brady and I and the boys) needed something to supplement our Bible reading in 2013. One day while I was traveling for work, I sneakly swung by the Christian book store and picked up three copies of this bad boy...one for Brady and I to share...and one for each of the boys. Even though they are twins and they live together...I figured I would be nice and not make them share =)
We are really liking this devotional so far. Since we have been on vacation we have been reading it at all different times of the day, but we are going to start reading it in the morning, which I am pumped for, because I can't think of any better way to start our day.
Through 365 daily readings, the book challenges readers to imagine what thier life would be like if they put Jesus first. The book has some really neat features that aren't offered by any other devotionals that I know of? It is split into 12 sections, and each of those sections is split into 4 or 5 weeks that dig deeper. So every month there is a main topic, and every week there is a sub topic that helps you dig in deep. I love it! The overall topic for Janurary is Discover God and the 5 subtopics are; Perfect Ruin, Abraham, Coming Hero, Firstborn, and Death and Life. Each day's reading is centered around a key Bible verse, but the book promts you to read the whole passage from your own Bible. The book also leads readers through talking with God, practicing what you have learned, and even sharing what you have learned through social media.
