I love devotionals so so much. I think they are such an important part in any persons day and I would highly encourage everyone to get a devotional and really dive deep into it every single day.

I love the concept of reading a short devotion from every book of the Bible. I mean, who does that? It makes the thought of reading parts of the whole Bible way less intimidating. Kind of like eating the elephant one bite at a time.

If you are looking for a fun, current, story-driven book of devotionals, then look no further. This is a fun way to get back to your faith.

Everyone needs a refresher and this book will water your hungry soul with 66 devotions, one from each book of the Bible. As a bonus you will get uncommon thoughts to dwell upon and many more delightful things.

I wanted to read this book because I'm curious about its approach to using bible verses to guide ways of thinking. I enjoyed the focus areas, the verses listed for further reading, and the author's view about how those verses could apply to your life.

This is a devotional about verses in the bible that most of the time we overlook.
The author dug in those verses and bring new insights to grow in your
relationship with God no matter the circumstances you go through.
At the end of each devotionnal there is part called "uncommon thought" and "unusual faith" that I find interesting and help to see things from another perspective.

I received a copy of this book and this is an honest review.

Lori Hatcher chose “little-known and often overlooked verses in every book of the Bible” on which to base each devotional. I really like the broad-scope of the entire Bible.

Each day’s devotional starts with a focal Bible verse or verses, then has a devotional lesson.

Each devotional/lesson ends with an “Uncommon Thought” that reinforces its biblical truths. Next, she has an “Unusual Faith” section that through questions lead you to evaluate your own spiritual life in regard to those areas of your life.

Each day’s devotional/lesson ends with a “Read” passage that helps you put the entire devotional in context. My personal suggestion would be for you to read that passage before you read the devotional/lesson so you get a sense of the larger context of the focal verse or verses.

This would make a great Christmas, graduation, Mother’s Day, or “just because” gift.

NOTE: I received a complimentary copy of this book for reviewing from Lori Hatcher. I was not required to provide a positive review. Thoughts in “My Two Cents” are my own opinion.

I loved the idea and setup of this book.. a short devotion from every book of the Bible. I read through most of the devotions for the OT books. Well written and easy to read. Makes a great thing to read first thing in the morning or for an evening devotion to end the day.
I personally didn't find it to be deep enough to teach me anything I didn't already know, so that's why I'm not finishing it. It wasn't quite right for me in this season, but I think it will be perfect for others!

I would recommend this book.
Thank you Net Galley and the publisher for the ARC copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

My summer devotional! And... I'm hoping to read it again with a group of friends. I hesitated about reading another devotional because they're all pretty much the same. I mean how many times can you read about the woman at the well? Ms Hatcher's book exposes readers to Bible passages they've likely never knew existed. I love uncommon thoughts and unusual faith at the end of each devotional. It encourages one to meditate and take to heart the meaning of the passage read. Each devotional is meaty enough to read over for a couple of days.

I liked this book of devotions. I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised at the different, yet Biblical, perspective that the author used when writing these. The thoughts in each devotion are inspiring, challenging, and convicting. This is a book to take your time thinking through each day’s reading and let these Biblical principles change your heart and mind.

Here you have 66 devotions from Bible stories often overlooked. For a fresh take on your devotions, this book is worth the purchase price. I was given a copy of this book for my unbiased review.

I love the concept behind this devotional. To bring out some of the verses that are often overlooked and underappreciated. The Bible is full of so many wonderful verses and it’s high time we focused on them a bit more!

This is a unique devotional and I enjoyed reading through it. I will definitely enjoy slowing down and savouring the bits and pieces throughout as I reread the book with a devotional a day.

I highly recommend this devotional to anyone looking for a devotional but especially for those who do often read devotionals and might want something a bit unique, a bit off the beaten path.

I received this book shortly before everything was shut down in our county. It came at such a good time! A refreshing reminder of God's Truth and promises through short devotionals. Great for those who are in a season of busyness and can't do a more in-depth Bible study.

I enjoyed this devotional very much. It was not too heavy on theology or the text based stuff and was really accessible for someone needed spiritual refreshment, but without the letdown feeling that sometimes comes. I felt like I'd been handed a cup of water.

A refreshing look at different scriptures. A very timely book for the world today.
Thanks to net galley for an advanced copy.

I really enjoyed this book! I didn't think the author would show me any new perspectives that I hadn't already read/heard about from the Bible (I'm a Christian), but wow. Hatcher really surprised me with these passages that encouraged me to flip my thinking and look at the biblical passages from behind a new lens. This is one book I definitely plan on studying for years to come. Highly recommend!

Unfamiliar verses. Uncommon insights. Unlimited possibilities.

Move from biblical doldrums to dynamic discovery! While your favorite Scripture verses or stories may bring you comfort, if you’re feeling monotony in your time with God it’s time to shake it up a bit. Each of these 66 culturally relevant, story-driven devotions—one from each book of the Bible—spotlights an unusual verse or passage and takes only five minutes to read. If you have more time, you can dig a little deeper with an uncommon thought to ponder, unusual faith action step to take, and an unfamiliar passage suggestion that invites you to further explore the Bible’s hidden gems.
You’ll be challenged to think deeply, step out boldly, and grow dynamically, transforming your devotional time—and your life!

Praise for Lori Hatcher’s writing . . .

My Thoughts: If you are looking for an in-depth devotional, look no further. Lori Hatcher has formulated a wonderful devotional that takes you to the seldom looked at verses. The author takes us into the Bible using verses that other devotional authors have not thought to look at. She takes the reader into a deep study that helps motivate and encourage the reader. If you are looking for a new devotional this devotional would be a great choice. Well written, it is easy to read and apply to our lives. These devotionals don't take up much of your day, just 5 minutes a day and you are on your way, refreshed and energized for the Lord.

This book could not have come at a better time with all that is going in the world. The book is simple and refreshing. Each passage is brief and it contains a devotion from each book in the Bible. I fresh look at a devotional and perfect for and Christian woman who wants I bit more and less focused on information. Perfect for the current society. Also, has a beautifully selected cover

Refresh your Faith, uncommon devotions from every book of the Bible, by author Lori Hatcher is a unique devotional. The author uses scripture from each of the sixty-six books of the Bible and molds a refreshing, inspiring devotion around them. Be prepared to become enlightened.

Most of the devotionals that I have read draw upon the same, favorite, and familiar scriptures. This one is the exception. It is a breath of fresh air. I was given a sampling of lesser known books and scripture to help deepen my daily Walk. The lessons stayed with me long after I had finished them.

The style of writing is personal and soothing. It was easy to imagine discussing scripture and stories over a glass of iced tea with this author. Her devotions are smooth and clear. They give insight and inspiration. I will definitely read this book again.

This would make a lovely gift for anyone - man or woman, any age, no matter where you are in your Walk. I highly recommend this. Be sure to get a copy for yourself, too. It is certainly different but in a good way. I gladly give it a 5 out of 5 star rating.
