Celebrate Lit Blog Tour: Connecting with Christ by Yolanda Tonette Sanders

Book: Connecting With Christ

Editor: Yolonda Tonette Sanders

Genre: Nonfiction, Inspirational

Release date: November 30, 2021

Self-care is a buzzword often mentioned when people seek to optimize their health. Suggested self-care practices tend to include activities such as exercising, getting a massage, or eating a healthy diet. While all of these actions have their place, none of them are sufficient enough to provide the soul-care we need to maximize our self-care. Self-care without soul-care equates to temporary solutions that leave us searching for the next new thing. However, when Christ becomes the center of our holistic health journey, we not only find fulfillment in Him but also a dependency on and trust in Him to truly live our best lives-emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Devotionals are a big part of my daily life. I do a devotional every day and I am always looking for new devotional books. Connecting with Christ: 52 Weekly Devotionals to Nurture Spiritual Growth by Editor Yolanda Tonette Sanders is one that I recently went through. 

I am enjoying this Devotional so much. It is a little different than other Devotional books that I have used in the past. I like the format of the Book: The book contains 52 Devotions, one per week. Various Contributors to the book. It is divided into 12 Different Themes(one per month). The Author of each weekly devotional has personal experiences that they talk about and they also have Scripture and Prayer that correlate to their devotional. Each week has a blank journal page so the reader can write down their thoughts and reflections for the week. 

I have been extremely encouraged in my Christian faith through this devotional. I am still going through it and have taken it as my new Devotional book. I truly believe I will go through it a couple of times, as it is that encouraging. I really like the various authors and how the different themes throughout are so pertinent for so many people. I believe this Devotional book would make a GREAT Gift for someone or even to be discussed in a group setting. ENCOURAGING BOOK!

More from Yolonda

Have you ever started a daily devotional but didn’t finish because you found yourself getting behind schedule and frustrated? One missed day turns into two, then the missed days pile on until we often do one of two things: a) have a marathon session to “make-up” the missed days’ readings; or b) abandon the devotional altogether. Neither of these options help with our spiritual growth. When we have marathon sessions to catch up, reading the devotional becomes a checklist item instead of us taking the time to glean the spiritual message or lesson to be learned. When we abandon reading the devotional, we miss everything still. Those great books end up collecting dust until we try again the next year only to repeat the same process.

 

Yep, I’ve been there! Having had such experiences, I sought to create a devotional that people could actually finish. Plus, let’s face it . . . we should read our Bibles every day, but devotionals are optional. Yet, sometimes people replace devotionals with reading the Bible. I didn’t want that either! So, Connecting with Christ is a 52-week devotional with just one reading each week. Not only was this a practical approach, but it was also purposeful. The desire behind this technique is for readers to have time to meditate on Scripture! Connecting with Christ is a devotional that readers can and will complete that will inspire them to dig more into the Word!
