The Joy of My Heart: Meditating Daily on God's Word

Anne Graham Lotz. Thomas Nelson Publishers, $14.99 (400pp) ISBN 978-1-4041-0116-6

This latest installment in J. Countryman's line of padded-cover pocket devotionals offers all of the features that have come to be associated with this series: a big-name Christian author (Lotz follows in the footsteps of the likes of Max Lucado, John MacArthur and Eugene Peterson), glossy paper, a gift-dedication page and a ribbon marker. Each day's devotion offers a brief line from the Bible and a paragraph-long meditation from one of Lotz's six full-length works. Helpfully, each reflection is followed by a quick attribution, letting readers know which of Lotz's books is excerpted in case they want to read more or follow up on a particular idea. Lotz fans will delight in this beautifully designed gift book, which can be digested methodically in a daily reading program or thumbed through at random for quick inspiration.
