About the book:
Our days are filled with
busyness: work meetings, family obligations, church responsibilities,
and more. We know that we need to spend time with God, but how often
does our reading the Bible become checking an item off a to-do list?
Behold is an invitation to just sit with God. Spend time with him. Enjoy his presence. For 40 days, let's sit with him, enjoy him, and choose to be in awe of him.

My review:
I enjoyed this devotional that really focused on the awe and wonder of who God is. Sarah invites us to just sit and really think about the verses. First she chose a passage, from a few verses to 2 chapters. Then she had some thoughts about it and at the end of each devotional thought she had the words, "Pause, Be, Enjoy, and Wonder" to remind us to not rush through this and just sit with God. I appreciated her honesty about her shortcomings and struggles and could totally relate! One thing I didn't like was when we looked at some of the passages more than once and a few times she said for us to choose our own passage. If this had been a longer devotional, it would have made more sense to me but when a devotional is for forty days, I felt a little cheated out of content. Overall, I felt it was helpful to use and could see myself reading it more than once. We could definitely all use more quiet time with God!
I received a free pdf copy of this book from JustRead Tours. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
