What I liked about this was there was a morning and evening devotional. It was centered around Christmas and December.

I just didn’t get the devotional feel from this. Maybe it’s me and the season I am in, so I say that to say check it out for you.

This is a personal journey.

This has been a fun devotional to read during Advent! I love the parallels that the author puts in with the Christmas story/season and life.

Barney Cargile’s humor-loving voice comes through loud and clear in this 51-entry Christmas devotional. Although the topic is familiar, Gargile’s delivery is often unique and fun. He’s collected some new introductory stories, along with some that I’ve heard before. A few felt cliched, but the author’s original content was fresh.

The Perfect Gift by Barney Cargile III is a wonderful and inspiring devotional for the Christmas season. There are two devotions, morning and evening, for the first 25 days of December. I was truly moved by this lovely book and encourage you all to be blessed by reading the stories of the Reason for the Season!!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. The opinions expressed are completely my own.

The Perfect Gift, Unwrapping True Joy for Christmas by Barney Cargile III is one great advent read that has two short devotions for each day. One in the morning to set you mind and thoughts all through the day on Christ, then one in the evening as you are finishing up your day. I loved how the focus is on the perfect gift, Christ who came into a world so imperfect. As you read each devotional you can see how God works through each for his perfect will. At the end of each devotional is the four Ps; first a Principle to consider, a Ponder focus, and further study to Pursue, then a short Prayer to start you off on your prayer. This advent devotional is useful for individual, couples, or family devotions. Highly recommend as a great gift of joy for others or yourself.

I don’t know what it is, but I do not usually like an advent devotional. How many I have started and not finished over the years I cannot count. This one looked intriguing enough to not only read but also review, and I am very grateful I did.
The Perfect Gift is very different in all the best ways. I love that there are thought provoking entries for both morning and evening, plus a bonus for the day after Christmas. And they are blessedly brief for this busy time of year. But not brief and shallow. The engaging stories and deep meaning packed into a few pages per entry, while remaining easy to read, memorable throughout the day, and applicable to life right here and now, is just wonderfully done. The author has an easy way of communicating much without the need to use an abundance of words. I found it all not too much, not too little, but just right.
Whether for yourself or to give as a gift, this is one devotional I strongly recommend. I enjoyed having the ebook to read on my phone and look up the recommended Scripture throughout the day. But no matter how you read it, your faith will be strengthened and your perspective renewed. Like me, you may even want to read it again next year.

If you’re looking for a Christmas devotional that will touch your heart and fill your home with the spirit of Christmas , The Perfect Gift by Barney Gargile III is an excellent choice.

What sets this devotional apart are the heartfelt and meaningful stories the author shares. Each story is rich with insight and invites readers to reflect deeply on the true essence of Christmas. Designed for both families and individuals, the devotional includes a thoughtful structure at the end of each day: Christian principle, thought-provoking questions, a deeper dive into scripture, and prayer.

I love that this devotional includes a section of importance of making a life-changing decision for Christ.

This is THE book to spend your advent with! It has morning and evening reflection prompts, so you can start and end your days in the best way possible to prepare for Christmas.
Each of these parts includes a short story with a message, Bible verses to read, questions to ponder, and a short prayer.
It's written in a heartwarming way but gives you a lot to think about and has many great messages to take away.

I really liked it as a girl who loves a good loving Christmas season book it was the perfect choose can't wait for physical copy

A lovely devotional for the holiday season. Full of wit and humor. I am looking forward to using this during the coming holiday!
Would recommend to anyone who is looking to bring peace to their holiday season.

Each of the 51 brief entries in 'The Perfect Gift ' include an informative devotional based on a biblical principle, questions to ponder, and recommended verses to read. Grab this before December starts if you're looking for a twice-daily reminder of what Christmas is all about! This resource is accessible for individuals, families, and small groups.

Special thanks to the Publisher, Our Daily Bread Publishing, and Net Galley for a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I was searching for a Christmas devotional that would help me feel grounded in the true meaning of the season and “The Perfect Gift” does exactly that. I loved the morning and evening devotional layout. The entries were concise but meaningful.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC.

Absolutely darling book Barney Cargile! I can not wait to gift this book to some of my family members this holiday season. It was beautiful from start to finish. Wonderfully done.

The Perfect Gift is the perfect advent devotional. I love the concept of a morning and an evening prayer time during the Christmas season.
