The focus of this Devotional Journal is on Jesus Christ as the very heart of God's unfolding plan, providing glimpses of Jesus in every book of the bible from Genesis to Revelation. The prayerful hope is that persons will find this devotional to be an open door of discovery into the awesome wonder of journeying with Jesus through His written revelation. I am happy to commend this unique devotional for its daring scope of highlighting the centrality of Jesus in each of the biblical books. It is no easy task to condense what could easily fill numerous pages into a simple and profound paragraph that encapsulates the Christological thrust of each book. I especially like the fact that, in addition to the devotional reflections, a thoughtful and reflective prayer, reflection questions, and a suggested bible reading plan are included. The other plus is that, unlike a daily devotional that introduces a new reading every day, this weekly devotional affords one the opportunity to revisit a particular reading for the entire week, each day drawing fresh insights from the Holy Spirit.
