"Prevail" by Susie Larson

 


Prevail is a wonderful new 365-day devotional from Susie Larson and Bethany House. It begins with selections from Genesis and continues all the way through the Bible. Each day it highlights one verse, with a lengthier reading passage recommended, and contains thoughts from the author as well as prompts for your own consideration. The entries end with a prayer related to the topic at hand.

I found Prevail to be very thought-provoking and challenging even with its short format. It gets right to the point, and packs a powerful punch. Here's a line that has stuck with me for a few weeks now: "There are no time constraints on God's ability to do what He will do." I was convicted by another devotional on the topic of choosing how to spend our time. "Whenever we say yes, we say no. And what we say yes and no to today will impact the lives of many tomorrow. Our story matters that much."

For the purposes of this review I've only read a portion of the devotional, but I am excited to continue reading through the days and months ahead. I would recommend this for all believers looking for a spark of something fresh in their devotional life.

I received my copy of the book from the publisher. All thoughts in this review are my own.
