A Nice Way to Start Your Day

I want to start this review by saying I am not Catholic, but I do know a lot about Catholicism and do attend Mass with friends on occasion. I discuss differences between Catholic and Protestant views with friends who are on both sides. Gives you a bit of an idea of where I am coming from with this. I am also writing this review after listening and reflecting on the first week of devotions. I listened to those close to back to back with some mediation. The rest of them, I would like to do day by day. Hence, why I am writing this now. If my view changes, I will come back and edit, but I do not anticipate that due to the structure of this book.

The author does use Catholic terms, but it is nice that he explains them for those who are maybe not familiar with or only know the word, but not what it means or stands for. The author knocks down that barrier.

Each day starts with an introduction of the idea behind the day and the mystery. It further explains how this can apply to each reader. Then a prayer is read, followed by the Scripture reading for the day. Then the author breaks the Scripture down and speaks to it with some insight. Then there is time to read the Scripture slowly and reflect. When a question or two is asked, followed by a prayer. Then you sit in quiet and come up with an idea on how you can actively live out/ practice what was discussed. Then there is a guided silence reflecting on a piece of Scripture. Lastly, there is an exercise and journal prompt followed by a closing prayer. There is a little bit of everything for readers.

In the last ten months, I have thought more and more about Mary, so I enjoyed that this was a book dedicated to reflecting on her.

Readers are encouraged to journal with day. I journal on days something really stands out to me. I think this book can be done with or without journaling it is what best works for the reader.

The narration was fantastic, and I loved the narrators voice. I would listen to him again in a heartbeat. I also intend to read more by this author.

I received this audiobook as a review copy. All opinions are 100% my own.
