My Review:
This is the second book by Judah Smith that I have read, the first one was "Jesus is for You." I like Judah Smith's writing style but more or less I love the little stories he shares within his writing.

This devotional book is a very easy and quick read and as a reader I felt like I was getting to know Judah the author just as much as I was relating his stories to my own life and the Bible.

I enjoy when authors can share stories about them selves but then turn each story into a life lesson that is relate able to a biblical story.  Each daily read does start of with a suggested Bible scriptures to read and questions to help you dig deeper and connect more with God.  

This book would be a great book to pass on to new people in their faith or those people who struggle with making a routine of Jesus time.   The daily reads truly are short enough that you could have this book stashed in the bathroom as well as they range about 3-4 pages. 

Thank you BookLook program for sending me this book for free in exchange for an honest review.  I was not paid for this review and all opinions expressed are 100% mine.

After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...
