This devotional consists of ten sections which point to God’s perfect display of fatherhood toward us as His children. Scripture readings, reflection questions, and prayers help to reveal His loving heart.

I really think everyone should owe and read and reread "40 Days to God, My Father: Finding Shelter in the Heart of God" by Rosann Coulon. It is short 40 devotions that have no date listed so any devotion is good for any day. She even says in the section "How to read this book you can pick the section that resonates with your current life situation and start there. There are ten sections having 4 daily readings, and each one has Scriptures to read and a Pause, Ponder and Pray section. This would be another book to journal with or to start journey. I think this book is a good one because the author is honest and tells us that God did not always give her the answer she wanted, such as for children and losing her father to Covid. I plan on rereading this book and doing the Pause, Ponder and Pray section more thoroughly, I read the book for review purpose and really felt a tugging in my heart to do a deeper study of the Scripture as I want to really find shelter in My Heavenly Father.

I received a complementally copy from the author and Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own.

More from Rosann

40 Days to God, My Father was born out of a difficult season with my pastor-father’s struggle with substance abuse. As I walked through the painful circumstances with my earthly father, I found myself grappling with trusting God as a good Father. I sensed the Lord inviting me on a journey to know Him as my One True Father. It was through reading the Scriptures––where I saw the Lord’s character revealed––prayer, and reflection that I found my trust restored.

I want to share the same truths I found with others who may be doubting the goodness of the Lord. Assuredly, He is the perfect Father each of us desperately needs. I pray readers will come away from the book knowing that He is faithful, loving, and kind.
