One Year Alone with God: 366 Devotions on the Names of God by Ava Pennington

5.0

The subtitle, "Devotions on the Names of God," is a bit misleading. Not all of the devotions focus on a name. Many are based on attributes or roles of God, such as "gracious" or " helper." This is a quibble. The writing is excellent, and the theology is sound.

The insights are meaningful, and are not dense theological treatises. This makes them very accessible. The downside for mature Christians is that if you WANT a dense theological treatise, you must look elsewhere.

These devotionals are not only informative, they inspire us to examine more closely our relationship with God. The included prayers are simple yet insightful. And each day's entry closes with a probing question designed to deepen one's Christian walk.

Any Christian will benefit from this devotional, but I especially recommend this book for new believers because a right understanding of God and a right relationship to him are essential to the building up of our faith.
