I enjoy reading devotionals - usually it's a few lines or a sentence that I can think about during my day and apply to my life - whether it be at work or my personal life. However, Where God Finds You is unlike any other devotional I have ever read. Higman modernizes the characters in the Bible with her own insight. Whether it be Mary, Peter or Job, she personalizes their character, letting you know their thoughts as their well-known stories unfold.
All in all, forty Biblical characters are brought to life and at the end of each story, the story in the Bible is presented so you can instantly compare the two and how Higman interprets their story. Personally, I couldn't stop with just one story, I was entranced.
The writing is superb, thought-provoking and inspiring. Whether you read devotionals or not, if you enjoy applying God's word to your own life, definitely pick up this book. It's a keeper!
