About the Book

Book: Connecting With Christ

Editor: Yolonda Tonette Sanders

Genre: Nonfiction, Inspirational

Release date: November 30, 2021

Self-care is a buzzword often mentioned when people seek to optimize their health. Suggested self-care practices tend to include activities such as exercising, getting a massage, or eating a healthy diet. While all of these actions have their place, none of them are sufficient enough to provide the soul-care we need to maximize our self-care. Self-care without soul-care equates to temporary solutions that leave us searching for the next new thing. However, when Christ becomes the center of our holistic health journey, we not only find fulfillment in Him but also a dependency on and trust in Him to truly live our best lives-emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.

More from Yolonda

Have you ever started a daily devotional but didn’t finish because you found yourself getting behind schedule and frustrated? One missed day turns into two, then the missed days pile on until we often do one of two things: a) have a marathon session to “make-up” the missed days’ readings; or b) abandon the devotional altogether. Neither of these options help with our spiritual growth. When we have marathon sessions to catch up, reading the devotional becomes a checklist item instead of us taking the time to glean the spiritual message or lesson to be learned. When we abandon reading the devotional, we miss everything still. Those great books end up collecting dust until we try again the next year only to repeat the same process.

 

Yep, I’ve been there! Having had such experiences, I sought to create a devotional that people could actually finish. Plus, let’s face it . . . we should read our Bibles every day, but devotionals are optional. Yet, sometimes people replace devotionals with reading the Bible. I didn’t want that either! So, Connecting with Christ is a 52-week devotional with just one reading each week. Not only was this a practical approach, but it was also purposeful. The desire behind this technique is for readers to have time to meditate on Scripture! Connecting with Christ is a devotional that readers can and will complete that will inspire them to dig more into the Word!

My Review

Connecting with Christ: 52 Weekly Devotionals to Nurture Spiritual Growth edited by Yolonda Tonette Sanders with contributions with well known authors. I enjoyed this faith filled devotional so much. It is broken down into twelve monthly themes with four to five week devotions. Each week includes commentary, scripture, prayer and one or more lined pages for writing out Reflections. This would be a perfect addition for those who are extremely busy but able to take a few minutes of the day to read. I loved it.  

Connecting with Christ: 52 Weekly Devotionals to Nurture Spiritual Growth will be getting five stars from me. Readers who are seeking encouragement and inspiration every week of the year, will want to pick this one up. 

I received a copy of Connecting with Christ: 52 Weekly Devotionals to Nurture Spiritual Growth from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
