I read the first devotional book of this series – 21 Days of Grace – earlier this year (you can read my review here). I enjoyed it so much (even though I’m not really a devotional reader) that I wanted to read the second one, especially since it’s Christmas themed. After all, what’s not to love about Christmas books?
To be perfectly honest, I didn’t enjoy this book as much as the first one. As a writer, I paid more attention to the stories than to the devotionals, and the stories were a bit of a let down. It’s not that they were bad, they were just all so similar. There were a few stories that stood out (I especially enjoyed Ide’s contribution to her own collection), but the first part of the book seemed to be very similar stories. That being said, I realize that I’m a really picky reader, and most people probably won’t notice.
As for the devotionals, they’re exactly what I’d expect – hopeful and encouraging, and very Christmas-related.
This series is written for writers, but I don’t think they’re the only people who will enjoy this book. I’d buy this for anyone who enjoys short stories or devotionals – it’s a great way to reflect on some of God’s lessons.
