A beautifully written book, that really touches the soul. I have bought it for a friend for Christmas too.

Coming from the understanding that seven is a biblically significant number Emily chose to explore it more for herself. This devotional book is based on what she learned. There are seven sections in her book, each one concentrates on a particular theme surrounding the number seven. The first section is Creation and each devotional in this section looks at one of the seven days of creation. The other sections focus on: God is; The Lord is my shepherd; I Am; Echoes from the cross; Add to faith; and the final section, Revelation Churches. This devotional is beautifully written and at the same time expressed simply so that anyone, no matter what stage they are at in their Christian faith, can grasp what Emily is saying. In the daily devotionals, Emily shares some of her own story which were helpful in illustrating the biblical truth for that particular day. The prayers are written in the first person and as I read them, they became my prayers. These prayers use everyday language, they come from the heart and there is honesty in them. These prayers express what is on Emily’s heart, but I believe they also express what is in our hearts. The writing which I was most touched by were the written conversations with God. It was as if God was having a personal conversation with me, speaking words of love and encouragement just to me. These were beautifully written and I found I just wanted to sit and soak them in. They were like balm to my soul. Emily has a unique way of expressing herself and, for me, it felt like God was expressing himself through her. This book helped me to come to God and relate to him in a fresh way. I think other readers will find this too. Emily’s book encouraged me to stop and reflect as I felt prompted by God. I believe you will be blessed by this book if you come with an open, reflective heart. Emily's book is not one to be rushed through. If you rush it you will miss out on so much. I encourage you to take time as you read it, quality time with God and rest in his presence. Think and ponder on the words, consider how it relates to you, and receive from God whatever it is that he is wanting to give to you.
