No matter how close to Jesus we feel we are, we can always get closer. And if we’re feeling a little distant or doubtful, we need a way to get back on track.

Pivot Driven Devotions is an ideal resource to help us make the necessary changes to get and stay on a path that will take us closer to God and be his hands and feet in the world.

This is a book of approximately 80 devotions based on well-known and not-so-well-known stories in the Bible. In each devotion, authors Arnie Cole and W. Terry Whalin tell a Biblical story, suggest what we should pivot from and pivot to, offer a prayer, and close with a thought about a pivotal moment of faith.

The authors’ conversational style is easy to read and understand. As they tell each story, they also include contemporary clarifications and comments to help us understand the details and message. Each devotion takes just minutes to read, but you’ll likely want to spend some time pondering and praying about the pivot suggestions.

You can read this book from front to back, or you can skip around and trust God to open it at the page you need on the day you’re reading.

As a writer and publisher, I found it intriguing that this book doesn’t include a table of contents. You might want to keep some sticky tabs handy so you can mark the pages you want to return to.

Pivot Driven Devotions: Bible Selections to Move You Closer to Jesus is a delightfully different approach to devotions that you’ll want to keep nearby so you can read and reread on your personal faith journey.
