Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Embrace your time with the Lord, no matter how busy you are! 10 Minutes in the Word: John is a perfect companion to studying the book of John from the Bible. Each day, read the assigned scripture, followed by the daily insights, explanations, and thoughts this devotional offers to truly understand this important book in the Bible.


My Review:
10 Minutes in the Word: John is a devotional that has you read through John over 46 days. You start each devotion by reading the next chunk of John in your own Bible (usually about 10 verses long). The author then took about 1.5 pages to talk about what happened and provide some insights into the events (usually providing some basic cultural background information). It ended with a short suggested prayer and some questions intended to help you apply a lesson from the reading to your life. I like that this devotional has you read the Bible verses in context and focused on better understanding the verses (rather than funny stories). Each day's entry should take about 10 minutes, which many people will appreciate. Overall, I'd recommend this devotional.


If you've read this book, what do you think about it? I'd be honored if you wrote your own opinion of the book in the comments.
