My Review:

I enjoy reading Bob Goff's books. When I saw Catching Whimsy on Net Galley, I immediately requested to read it.

Each day's devotional starts with a Bible verse, followed by a story from Goff's personal experiences that relates to that verse. Some days, there are questions for you to ponder. One thing each day has in common is that Goff gives you much to ponder.

"Sometimes you need to cut loose what isn't working and start over."

One of the things I love about this devotional is that Goff's personality shines through. He is down to earth and relatable. He is also a bit eccentric, which adds bits of humor throughout the devotionals. I think he would be a neat person to meet. I appreciate him sharing his wisdom and stories with us while pointing us toward God every step of the way. 

Thank you to Net Galley and the author for the opportunity to read this book. I was not required to provide a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.
