Spiritual Growth, book review

Pure

21 Comments 01 November 2008

Rebecca St. James recently released her new book Pure – a 90-Day Devotional for the Mind, the Body & the Spirit.

I was excited to share this book with you because unlike some books that I might review or endorse, I know this precious, Godly women personally and I can assure you that this book is an overflow of her heart and passion to live a pure, God-honoring life.

During my days at ForeFront Records, I had the privilege to work on the marketing and sales promotion of Rebecca’s music.  Additionally I traveled to various cities with her assisting with promotional events and concerts.  Those trips to more were less like work and more like journeys with a friend.

While purity, especially sexual purity,  has been a subject that Rebecca has long been known for I love that this book speaks to purity of heart affecting mind, body and spirit.  This devotional is broken into 90 quick, short, daily reads which make it possible to stick to a 90-day reading commitment.  Rebecca makes good use of personal stories that make you feel a part of the journey with her.  Each devotional begins with a scripture reference followed by a “reflection” section where Rebecca shares personal stories and application.  The “Living it Out” section asks questions and gives suggestions for application of the subject for the day.

If I missed anything in this book, it would be additional space for responding to the “Living it Out” suggestions.  This could easily be a devotional journal.  I would suggest using a journal alongside it as you study to help you reflect and apply.

This book would be a great Christmas gift for the young women in your life.  Put it on your Christmas lists or go buy it HERE!

BONUS – I’m giving a copy away.  Respond in the comments and I’ll enter your name into the drawing!

I’ve heard of her new devotional and would love to check it out. Just finished another read thru 40 days of purpose, so timing is great for me. Throw my name in pot, please.
