Have you ever been offered a delicious-looking slice of cake, only to take a bite and find it to be dry? If so, you will know how I felt when reading this book.
The blurb describes it as ‘a thoughtful gift to those appreciating devotional depth, it should also profit pastors or lay preachers seeking material for one-off sermons’. Perhaps it is unfortunate for the author that I am currently reading Future Grace by John Piper – here is devotional depth indeed!
