Thank you netgalley for providing me with an eARC of this book.
Overall fairly enjoyable, a lovely little book of devotionals to deepen your faith and make time for God each day. I liked that they were all based around John's gospel and writings which I think are particularly beautiful books of the Bible.
This book used a lot of example stories and scenarios to talk about the ideas within it and while some were thought provoking and sweet it became rather tiring by the end of the book and some of the sections felt a bit repetitive. To be fair I was reading it faster than it was meant to be read as they are daily devotionals so this may have influenced my enjoyment.
I would've liked the chapters to be a bit longer to go deeper into the topics explored but if you are looking for short daily devotionals this is a nice book to pick up which can be easily slotted into a busy schedule.

This is a day by day devotional for 40 days. It centers on the writings of John; his gospel, his letters, and finally, the book of Revelation. Rusty George uses scripture and personal stories that engage the reader. Some of the stories are funny, some touching, but all of them weave together the daily lesson with something from modern times. George is a good storyteller and asks the reader 3 questions. The challenge at the end of each devotional reading is to put yourself in the story, to read and ponder scripture, and consider who you are to Jesus Christ. I appreciate that there are no polarizing topics, most Christians despite their personal theology can use this book effectively. If you are looking for a new book to spark your imagination and your spiritual time, this would be a good fit for you.
Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC

If you've been letting others define your identity and limit your dreams, you're in trouble. But you already know that. From his pastor's heart, George offers you biblical hope for a renewed mind and personal security in Christ.

This study from John's gospel, his epistles, and the book of Revelation affirms that you are an integral part of God's plan to save and love the world. He is pleased to be your Father and gives you the freedom to make good decisions, live without comparing yourself to others, and have an eternal destiny.

The forty lessons will encourage you and remind you that your unique design is purposeful and you are the beloved of God.
