Writing Days: 52 Devotionals for the 52 Weeks in a Christian Writer’s Year by Jan Thompson


I gulped down this book. It’s supposed to be stretched over 52 weeks but I read it in a week. I wanted to stop, I really did. Or, at least make it last longer. I liked that she touched on a verse each week as well as gave you a daily action plan. The idea is to take a daily action plan for each day for that week.

Week 43 entitled Press On reminds us that every success comes from God. Sometimes we think we should have a bigger blessing than we receive. It reminds me that our life is not our own. God will reveal blessings in His time not ours. This is just one devotional and just a snippet for that week.

Now that I have swallowed it whole, I shall read it again at a much slower pace and take it to heart. I recommend this book to writers whether published or not for weekly encouragement. I’ve been looking specifically for a devotional for Christian writers and this one came to the top. Is that a God thing to encourage me to keep writing? I believe it is. Now, I just need to obey.
