My Review:

Glimpses of the Savior by Shirley Crowder and Harriet Michael is a perfect devotional for this time of year. 

Each day begins with a Scripture reading, followed by a short story from one of the authors that will relate back to the day's Scripture reading. This is followed by a short prayer, and the day ends with a thought from the day.

I found the stories relatable. Depending on your reading speed, it only takes 5-10 minutes each day, but it does give you a thought for the day as you continue to ponder what was said. I loved that the authors shared glimpses of themselves and how they met and became friends through the book.

★★★★/5

Finding Jesus Among the Celebrations and Decorations

50 Meditations for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year

In early November, our minds turn to the upcoming holiday season and the new year. We get busy preparing for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year, and all too often, we forget the real meanings of these celebrations. As Christ-followers, we can guard against this by focusing our hearts on God’s Word.

Thanksgiving is a time to give God thanks; Christmas is the celebration of the birth of the Savior; the New Year brings new beginnings. This devotional book contains fifty meditations to help you find Jesus among the celebrations and decorations. Begin using the book the week before Thanksgiving and it will carry you into the New Year.
