Because... is a timely devotional, full of God's truths, with over two months' worth of daily readings on subjects such as:
-- In Sync with God
-- Our Habit of Wandering
-- God with Skin
-- Where is Happiness?
-- Failure and Success
-- The Shield of Faith
-- and much more
The devotionals are written with the devotion part, including scripture, first, then guidelines for how to spend your prayer time. It goes on to include suggestions on how to incorporate the reading into your daily life, and then suggestions for adding to your prayer journal reflections, personal application, and personal prayer points.
I read the devotions with my teenagers before we started our school day and I enjoyed them. They are very well written and meaningful.
My only complaints are that there is only one devotional for the weekend, and I'm not sure if your supposed to read the same one over on Saturday or Sunday, or forego a devotion on Sunday, since you are in church. I also would like to see places available for adding thoughts and insights as the devotion is read, but that might be in the final copy.
I recommend Because... as a truly timely devotional that I and my family will be going over it multiple times.
