Days of Diamonds by Bill Kraski
Days of Diamonds is a 14 day monthly devotional ebook by blogger and author Bill Kraski. The book begins at the beginning of the year and follows us through the first two weeks of the year. Every day has its own Bible verse and devotional, there is also a prayer thought for every day.I have been following Bill's blog for a while and knew his wisdom and love for Christ. I had high expectations for his devotionals. The books has been everything I expected and more. It has made my morning devotionals more beautiful and profound. The Bible verses are well chosen and thought through, the devotionals are made to bring you closer to God and the Truth. And the prayer thought concentrates it all so you can commune with God the thoughts that were risen from your heart.
One of my favorites were Day 4 with thoughts on our seek to be new men at the beginning of the year. The praeyr thought for the day is for God "to show us what He made us, originally". Another favorite of mine, and something I actually highlighted so I could blog about it later on, was Day 5 with a text from Proverbs.
The devotional is short but profound, it touched my heart and made me yearn even more closeness with God. There is such beauty in burning the unnecessary and purifying yourself as a sacrifice to God.
Another amazing feature was Bill's posts in his blog. He followed through the theme during the whole month and helped us even deeper to the love of God. Purifying and polishing ourselves and our faith like Diamonds, a perfect gift to offer to God.

ReplyDeleteI have never tried out an ebook so this is new. But I love that you were able to follow him and learn about him and then be able to read something he wrote. Something I would recommend to my friends for sure. Its nice it is a day by day thing as a little nice uplifting thing to pray about each day always gets my day off to a good start. Thank you so much for sharing.

ReplyDeleteThen this one is for you :)
DeleteNever heard of this book but I like the sound of it.
ReplyDeleteIt's not surprising that you haven't heard of the book. I've only been blogging since 2008, And I've only been writing books since last year. I've intentionally made the devotionals inexpensive because I want people to see how much the God really cares for us. Once we have a handle on that, everything starts edging toward downright awesome.
DeleteIt's always great to find a good devotional as I find that they are short in numbers sometimes. I'm glad you found one that you enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteI really did, Clara. Hope you check it out and maybe you'll like it too.
DeleteI'm not one for devotional books, but absolutely respect that it is something you enjoy and find helpful.
ReplyDeleteI love devotionals and would be looking for this one. I appreciate your review of the book too.

ReplyDeleteJoanna, thanks for the wonderful review. And those were my two favorite days, too. There's real power in understanding that we are who God says we are, not who we think we are.
