Review of God's Promises Devotional Journal

I received this devotion for Booksneeze to review because I saw Max Lucado, John MacArthur and Sheila Walsh as contributors to the book. I love each of their writings and so was looking forward to what they had in store for me in this devotion. I am disappointed in this devotion. While it has room for you to journal your thoughts each day, the devotion itself left much to be desired. A bible verse was there as well as an excerpt from a page of each person's books they have written but the excerpt was very short and didn't add much meat to the devotion. If you want a real quick devotion in the morning I guess this would work, but if you are looking to dig deeper in God's Word and hear from professional Christian writers who have something important to say about the topic each day, this is not the devotion for you. The cover is beautiful and it looks to be a nice devotion, maybe even given as a gift, but it truly is not something I want to read each day. The back says that this book comes from 20 different authors to bring inspiration and encouragement by speaking God's promises to you. If you just want this as a journal in addition to you reading your Bible than I think this would be good to use as each day's page is 3/4 journal writing area.
