A wonderful daily devotional collection! I love Bob Goff's books, and this provides a lovely dose of his writings each day. While based on Biblical scripture, the author uses contemporary language and life situations to give you something to challenge you to be a better person and a better Christian each day of the year. It can be started any day of the year.

I love really good devotionals like this, and I'm glad there's a new one available.

I love Bob Goff’s writing and outlook on life. His lighthearted approach to life and faith is a breath of fresh air. These short devotions are a great way to start each morning! Catching Whimsy is a perfect gift for yourself or others.

Bob Goff has done it again! His style of writing is so accessible and fun to read! This would be a wonderful gift for anyone. It shares Jesus, fun stories, and Bob’s lighthearted tone. I love how he describes whimsy more in depth and shares the joy of the Father!

Bob Goff always has such a way of weaving delight and joy into his writings. While I connect more through his books than his short devotionals, there are a few gems in here. They’re very easy and accessible for new believers.

Thank you NetGalley, the publisher and the author for this earc! Excited to add this daily devotional to my morning routine

Thank you NetGalley for this copy of Goff's new devotional. I've read a couple of books of his and was excited to get a chance to start going through his devotional. I'm assuming because it was advance copy and sometimes my Kindle does weird things with those, there are no dates to go along with the devotions, so I just started in January (There is a note to the month). Each day starts with a scripture so it has been easy to see the breaks. I'm already enjoying the devotions and getting takeaways that I actually may remember by the end of the day. I have gone through other devotionals that I've forgotten it as soon as I read it. Goff's devotions are quick, fun, easy to read, but do still have meat on the bones that gives a message to take away. I can't wait to keep on going through it!

Bob Goff is hilarious! I have heard him speak a few times and he is so fun! This book was great. Lots of little stories (some I have heard before) along with scripture, and tips on how to be a better person. The only thing I didn't like was the chapters seemed very long. I think it would be better and an easier read if the days were numbered in each month. Any book by Bob is a treat for the reader so of course I would rec it!

Bob Goff is always on my list for books to add to my TBR, and wow! This book was just absolutely fantastic. I want to gift each person I love this book for Christmas. It was just so beautifully written, and the topics brought up were wonderful. He is always such an encouragement. Loved it!

**Review of *Catching Whimsy***

In *Catching Whimsy*, Bob Goff invites readers on a transformative journey that blends spirituality with a zest for life. This 365-day devotional is not just another book on the shelf; it’s a daily companion designed to inspire, uplift, and encourage readers to embrace the joy and possibilities that each day holds.

Goff’s writing is characterized by his trademark warmth and humor, making each entry feel like a conversation with a wise friend. His storytelling ability shines as he shares personal anecdotes that resonate deeply, connecting everyday experiences to profound spiritual truths. Each day begins with a reading from the Bible, grounding readers in scripture while seamlessly weaving in Goff’s insights on faith and purpose.

One of the standout features of *Catching Whimsy* is its interactive element. Goff includes thoughtful questions and prompts that encourage readers to reflect on their own lives and decisions. This approach not only fosters deeper engagement with the material but also empowers readers to take actionable steps toward a more fulfilling existence. The gentle nudges toward curiosity and delight serve as reminders that life is an adventure waiting to be explored.

Throughout the year, Goff emphasizes the importance of recognizing God’s love and presence in our lives, inspiring readers to shift from feelings of ambivalence to a state of excitement and possibility. The structure of the devotional encourages daily engagement, making it easy to integrate into one’s routine and create a habit of reflection and gratitude.

*Catching Whimsy* is particularly appealing for those seeking a fresh perspective on their faith journey or anyone feeling stuck in the monotony of daily life. Goff’s cheerful encouragement to “chase joy” and his insistence that the beauty of life is often found in unexpected moments resonate with anyone yearning for a deeper sense of meaning.

In conclusion, *Catching Whimsy* is a delightful and enriching devotional that offers readers the tools to cultivate joy and purpose in their everyday lives. Bob Goff’s inspiring words remind us that life is filled with possibilities, and with a little whimsy and faith, we can embrace the extraordinary. This book is a perfect gift for anyone looking to reignite their sense of wonder and connection to God, making it a must-read for the year ahead. Highly recommended!

I’ve always been a big fan of Bob Goff, and I’m pretty sure if we ever met, we’d have the best conversation. I was thrilled when NetGalley approved me for this book in exchange for my honest review. Although I haven’t finished it yet, I know I’ll keep coming back to these daily devotions during my quiet time with the Lord. The days that I have flipped to and read already were wonderful. Goff’s insight and real-life stories are both inspiring and a perfect complement to my daily Bible readings. This book is already enriching my spiritual journey.

Bob Goff is a gifted writer and speaker, his views on life and love are beautiful. His Love Does series is a staple in my curriculum and home. Catching Whimsy is a great follow up, and an excellent reminder to keep moving forward so not to become stagnant. It is encouraging, motivating and most of all achievable. The words flow over you as you read this devotional.

Thank you Netgalley and Nelson Books for an arc of Catching Whimsy by Bob Goff

I was very optimistic for this book, as someone who could do with more whimsy in my life. But unfortunately it just felt like Goff took verses and tried to make them fit for his whimsy. I do think this book could still be good for those with a strong biblical background but if someone new to Christianity were to pick the book up I feel like they wouldn't get a good understanding of the Bible. More biblical context would have been nice.
