After searching a long time to find a devotional just right for me I picked this one up a my local library. Unlike many of the devotional guides I've encountered this one is very direct and doesn't waste a lot of space trying to keep you entertained. It speaks right to the point, without being too blunt or preachy. Althought it's not especially funny it WILL draw you closer to God. If your looking for a real condensed devotional, then this is the book for you; if you want something more lighthearted, try one of Martha Bolton's books. I'm so glad God gave me this book!!!!

It was awhile back when I recieved this book as a gift. I can't recall who gave it to me, or even why. I do remember it setting on my bedside table and picking it up from time to time. I remember that each time a read one of those short chapters that I understood a little more about God and my personal relationship with Him. I felt closer to Him. I thank God for giving me this book. It was a significant step in my journey.

years ago i picked this book up from my church's library and took it to work with me. it turns out that this book changed my life. reading it opened my eyes to accept Christ. i've been looking for it ever since. it cuts straight to the chase and gives clear reasons for following God.

This is a really good book for middle school - high school age kids. I recieved this book as a gift from a friend because everyday i had the worse time at opening up my locker. I read it off and on...now a couple years later I have revisited it and found it very enlightning. May fave idea from the book is...give it to God cause there is nothing you can do about it with out him.

This book had me howling from start to finish! A sophisticated and subtle satire on traditional mind-control propaganda re-appropriated onto a foil of ultra modern America. I can imagine some religious-minded folks will be taking this one seriously. And good for them.

Written in pitch-perfect saccharine cliches, it is a masterwork in its mimicry of devotional materials attempting to be "cool", and pitching to angsty teens. The title alone, overlong and chatty, is already where the genius starts. You will want to read this several times, or perhaps look through Peterson's other excellent humorous projects, such as "Anybody Can be Cool, but Awesome takes Practice" which may be the only book I have encountered that is FUNNIER than this one.

Peterson will go far. She certainly deserves a great readership, and a recurring column in The Onion. A true comic voice for the generation of "corporate cool".

I got this for my daughter because I liked the title. Her first experiences with trying to open a locker weren't good, so she could really relate to it. LOL! She tells me she likes the devotions in this book. There are 365 devos in here.
