I don't know about you, but I find reading devotion books a lot like wading through treacle. More often than not, they are heavy going, hard to fathom and pretty soon I'm making every excuse in the book as to why it should stay on the shelf and remain unread. God360 by Andy Flannagan is for people like me. It's written in plain English and meets people where they are. Andy is, of course, a nationally popular songwriter and worship leader and here demonstrates he's also an excellent writer and one with much to communicate. What gives this series of devotions the edge is the emphasis on doing, rather than just reading. For example, Andy encourages readers to pray for their area from the top of a multi-storey car park, just like Moses prayed for the battle below in Exodus 17, and wash friend's cars to help express their faith. There is also an excellent and challenging foreword by Pete Greig. An excellent book. There should be more devotionals written like this.
