It is evident throughout the book that Kelly Mack McCoy is a committed Christian who wants to support and encourage others in their journey with God.

The book is well structured with the daily devotionals opening with an interesting quote and powerful Bible verse. I liked that there was a mix of Bible based stories, personal experience and the adventures of famous people. The most compelling asset of this book is the author’s ability to engage with the reader. He uses rhetorical questions to make the reader think and these lead nicely into a space where they can note down their own feelings and prayers.

Our sojourn takes us through a troubled land in tumultuous times,

This a thought provoking phrase which begins the reader’s journey. The alliteration is effective. We are indeed living in tumultuous times. Having lived through the pandemic, we are still surrounded by a world full of sin, where it often seems as if anything goes,

However, the author made me feel safe and secure in the arms of our precious Father.

‘May your Anticipatory Anxiety be replaced with Anticipatory Joy.’

This is a well worded phrase, reminding us that we should trust God and approach experiences with joy instead of anxiety.

I really liked the idea of the Holy Spirit as our internal GPS and that ‘God does not do random things’. God has a plan for each of us. Day 11 considers this, thinking about how our destiny is shaping by the paths we choose.

‘Join the crowd. We all make mistakes during our walk with him.’

The fact that the author acknowledges he also makes mistakes will resonate with the reader.

This book will make a useful addition to any Christian book shelf. The daily devotionals encourage the reader to stay close to God and provides useful prompts to make you think.
