My Review

Life Is _____ Forty-Day Experience A Devotional Journey Through God's Illogical Love By Judah Smith is the companion book to Life Is___.: God's Illogical Love Will Change Your Existence. I see on Amazon that there also is a study guide.

I have done 40 day bible studies before as an entire church and I find them to be very effective in bringing everyone in the church together. When everyone is reading the same book and thinking about the same things, you have a lot to talk about! I think Life Is would be a great study for a church to do together.

 The book is divided into four sections:

1. Section 1: Life Is To Be Loved and to Love
2. Section 2: Life Is to Trust God in Every Moment
3. Section 3: Life Is to Be At Peace With God and Yourself
4. Section 4: Life Is to Enjoy God

Why is there a blank in the title? Because author Judah Smith freely admits that he does not have all the answers. Smith is just here to point us at Jesus. Each day (chapter) has a reading from the bible that you need to look up in your bible, a devotional and questions.

This is an easy to read, insightful devotional that is a great 40 day study.
