Jesus Daily - 12 Days of Christmas Tour - Review and Giveaway!




ABOUT THE BOOK:

Based on the major themes found on the most active Facebook page in history, JESUS DAILY is a 365-day interactive devotional that goes beyond even the fan page to create a deeper experience and cultural movement that celebrates your redemption in Christ. JESUS DAILY presents a devotional through but also challenges you to respond to each daily reflection using a variety of social media tools.

JESUS DAILY is a worldwide revolution in how you can connect, share, and worship personally with other believers.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Aaron Tabor, M.D. started the Jesus Daily Facebook page in 2009. He is the president of Gene Facelift, a gene theraphy biotechnology company developing anti-aging and wound-healing drugs. Dr. Tabor is a graduate of the John Hopkins School of Medicine.

MY REVIEW:




This little book really caught my eye when I received it. It's very colorful and has high-quality slick paper inside. I love a book that just feels good in my hand!

I found it so interesting how this devotional came about! Dr. Tabor shares in the beginning about how he felt he wasn't doing enough for Jesus on a daily basis. He is a very busy doctor and even though he would read his Bible daily, his day was consumed with his research. He decided to create a Facebook page that would be devoted to focusing on Jesus every day. It is the most active page on Facebook with over 27 million fans!

This devotional shares a Scripture for the day, then there is a short but powerful devotional for you to reflect on. Then there is a daily interaction called "CONNECT". This challenges us to share with others something about Jesus either on the Facebook page, by email or by using a social media to connect to others. I really love this idea because most of us are on social media off and on during the day and what a wonderful way to share the love of Jesus!

I love the inside of this book - it's so beautiful! Here is the picture for the month of December as well as the devotional for today:

 

When I received this devotional, I was given an extra copy to give to a family member or friend. I gave my copy to my husband and we have been using it as our devotional for our quiet time together. It's been such a great devotional for us both! We have enjoyed sharing our thoughts with our friends and family using our social media. It is easier to share on social media rather than face to face some days and, for me, it's really been great because I'm still home-bound and this gives me a chance to share and have a conversation about Jesus with others online.

I really like JESUS DAILY and I highly recommend it! I give it 5 out of 5 stars. 

This book was provided to me for my honest review by the Hachette Book Group

  1. What a great story about how this book came about! I too started my paintings of bible verses because I wanted to plant the word of God in my heart. patsy
