The short readings are handy for getting a small dose of spiritual growth to ponder throughout the day, and there are great reminders throughout (like the repeated principal of waiting on God). I was really thrown for a loop when the author claimed that Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son was a mistake, which I'll reflect upon to see if I agree with, but my understanding of that story has always been basically not what the author is saying about it. The overall way in which the book is put together makes each day feel like being dropped into the middle of a conversation, rather than starting from a beginning I guess it's that, to me, the verses don't always seem to tie in well with the elaboration provided by the author. This is hard to review because some of the readings have great insight, but some have points so trivial that they came across almost as patronizing.
