My Review:

A solid book on Biblical Meditation.

I enjoyed learning about Biblical meditation, and I appreciated that the book walked us through 30 days of meditation. My only complaint is that the verses to meditate on were too long. When I think of meditating on verses; I think of one or two verses, most passages were four to eight verses.  By the time I got to the end, I was like, "What did I just read?" Other than that, I highly recommend the book.

★★★★/5
