The Daily Devotional Series The Gospel of John edition by Kristi Burchfiel Religion Spirituality eBooks
Disappointing in the extreme. The introduction says that each chapter will focus on one chapter of the book of John and discover the truths there. I had expected the author to fully examine each chapter in the book of John; instead, the author chooses only one verse from each chapter and makes a very small comment about a truth in that verse without taking into consideration the surrounding verses and circumstances John wrote. The author also make a small "response" which is a small prayer in which she takes her interpretation of the truth she finds in one verse and applies it to herself. I am not saying this is wrong or bad. What I am saying is that it falls very short as a devotional in really truly reading the book of John (in its entirety) to discover the real meat, if you will, in the book of John. By reading only one verse, we are left with a totally incomplete understanding not only of John and his experiences with Jesus, but a total lack of discovering all the truths of which John wrote. This is not a devotional to me at all. I am not learning any new or outstanding truths by reading one short truth. A devotional that takes all of thirty seconds to read and pray is no devotional at all. It's more of a "There; I did my duty, now I can get on with my day and not feel guilty for not spending time with God." This is not at all what God wants from us and with us. As in all of our relationships, God wants our TIME! When we get together with a friend for lunch or a cup of coffee, do we say one sentence and be on our way? No! We spend TIME with our friends: talking with each other, confiding in each other, laughing with one another, crying on a shoulder, squeezing a hand - being a friend. THIS is what God wants. He wants to talk with us, confide Hid truths with us, laugh in our joy from Him, hold us while we cry with Him, hold our hands all day - He wants us first and foremost to come together with Him not for a short, hurried, little prayer in the morning, but to be our first Friend and Confidante throughout ALL the day! A thirty second reading and prayer does not a relationship make; nor does it bring us any closer to God or Heaven. In this "devotional " book, will reading one verse, finding one truth, and reading one small prayer not only bring you closer to our Lord but also make us ponder that truth throughout each day? I don't think so. Relationships take TIME. When Judgement Day comes, we will be held accountable not only for our actions, but also for our TIME! I am strongly and highly disappointed with this devotional book, and would certainly NOT recommend it to anybody who truly wants a deep and meaningful relationship with Christ.Product details

The Daily Devotional Series The Gospel of John edition by Kristi Burchfiel Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
I enjoyed the reading and the outline they broke it down so you can understand it better.
This is just a very, very basic devotional without a lot of depth to it. This is OK for just a quick, light read and it is nice that the author cared enough to share it, but the verses seem randomly chosen for each chapter and her comments seem under developed. Plus the book does not even have enough devotions to cover a whole month!
A very small devotional that just helps you remember what's truly important, and that is Jesus! A very peaceful way to start your day.
To be fair, the author admits as much on the first page. From the title I was expecting something a bit more in-depth than it turned out to be. Instead, it's a set of pithy devotions, each centering on one verse and only one per chapter. For what it is, it's not bad and if I'd been looking for something like it I'd have given it 4 stars, but since it wasn't I gave it only 3.
I love the book of John. This short devotional was very much what I needed to remind me of God's amazing LOVE for me. His unconditional love also reminds me of what He told me the day I gave my heart to Him...He is my Father and He will never leave or forsake me.
The Daily Devotional Series The Gospel of John - 5
These 21 devotions, one taken from each chapter in John, are very short but meaningful. The first one started off vague, but they got better. I often read two or three at a time for my brief devotion at night. They do give important gospel truths.
Yes, I saw many of the other reviews. And, many don't get it.
This devotional is meant to be easy. And, it's an easy read.
It's meant to be simple. Anyone can grasp the concept shared.
It's meant to be brief. It only takes a moment to read each vignette.
And, for people looking for an in depth, deep search and reflection, it probably should not have been so advertised.
I'd give it to a grade-schooler or high-schooler for a breakfast devotional before they take off for school. It's something that can be used to re-focus when you need a break from stress. Or, it might be used as a guide alongside someone's first read through of the Book of John.
Kristi's theology is fine. Her interpretation of Bible themes is good. And, for a free book on , we shouldn't expect a doctrinal thesis, should we? So, I think Kristi Burchfiel has done a fine job.
