Shellie has a gift for making All Things Sacred super simple to understand. Devotions for the Hungry Heart serves up daily bread while whetting a healthy appetite for what truly matters in life. Some people push souls away with their inapproachable Christianese. Shellie slices through the heart and head like an ice cream headache. It hurts so good! I hope she has another book underway, because Im already hungry for another helping.

The hardest part of reading this devotional is sticking to one day. The temptation is to read ahead and devour the incredible, real life stories Shellie uses to illuminate scripture in her endearing belle style. During my next backyard He & Me Retreat, how will I ever not peek around for marauding redheaded cows during prayer time? Not only are the recipes totally yum, Devotions for the Hungry Heart serves up juicy, tasty, bite-sized morsels of the Bread of Life to satisfy the hungriest and thirstiest spirit. Another helping, please.
