About the book:
In simple, updated language, Awakening Faith by
James Stuart Bell provides a year of inspiring readings drawn from the
earliest teachers and writers of the church—the Church Fathers. In every
reflection you will be refreshed by deep wells of wisdom and spiritual
insight.
My review:
This is an insightful and inspiring devotional with hundreds of years of wisdom from church fathers. It was interesting to learn about more of our church history and to read their insights into the Bible. Each devotion is a page with a Scripture verse written out. There are bios of each of the writers in the back, about sixty total. Some of the names I recognized, such as Augustine, and others were unknown to me. The language is quite easy to understand. This is a beautiful hardcover with a dust-jacket and ribbon bookmark. It would make a wonderful gift for yourself or someone you know!
I received a free copy of this book from Cross Focused Reviews in exchange for an honest review.
