Refreshed: Devotions for your Time Away

I am TOTALLY this sort of person – so was delighted to hear of this new book by the marvellous John Hindley. There’s a lot to love about ‘Refreshed’, but here are three things.

Firstly, the structure – it’s a 30-day study, but with the devotionals divided into headings such as ‘Beach’, ‘Hills and mountains’, ‘Friends and family’, ‘Cities’ and more, you can jump around, following whichever theme fits where you’re off to on that particular day. Secondly, the Bible passage is included. Huzzah for not having to pack two books! ‘Refreshed’ may just be a few hundred grams, but if you’re flying anywhere this summer, that could be the difference between getting through the airport unscathed and having to pay a hefty fee. Finally, John’s beautiful writing; exquisitely turning our eyes to our Maker, offering fresh thoughts and perspectives, all covered in grace and peace. Love it. (Oh – do I get a fourth? Each devo ends with an idea for flipping it into a family devotional too!)
