No Cape Required: 52 Ways to Unleash your Inner Hero by
Kristen Parrish includes 52 devotionals that can be applied to daily life. In
the introduction Ms Parrish states “we are all in search of heroes” and “the
good news is that being a hero requires no cape”. “The Holy Spirit enables us
to do great things”.
The book is broken up into 52 devotionals each one featuring
a hero from television, movies and books. Each devotional gives and example of
a situation that the hero has been in and then scripture is given so that we
can see how biblically we can apply the life lesson to our own lives. Then that
is followed by a suggested prayer and ideas on how we can tap in on our inner hero.
Each of the heroes are well know and probably recognizable by
most people and the devotions seem as though they could be helpful. I would
have personally would have liked to have had more biblical references and
biblical heroes versus fictional characters but still there are good biblical
comparisons to the fictional heroes and situations.
This is probably not my favorite devotional but I believe my
daughter would probably enjoy it a lot more. This is one of those books that I’m
not sure I would highly recommend but if asked wouldn’t give it a poor review
either. It will be an individual’s preference and taste in devotionals. It does
seem biblically sound which is very important to me.
I would suggest looking through the devotions before
purchasing and see if it would be of interest to you. I received this book at
no charge from booksneeze.com in exchange for an honest review.
