Review:

Revealing Jesus is a decent devotional. I wasn't thrilled with it, however it did have some good things going.

Pros:
-Each devotional is based on a Scripture passage.
-I enjoyed the songs throughout the devotional. The author write praise and worship songs, so it was nice to see uplifting songs through the book.
-It has a prayer at the bottom of each devotional, to help us in our own prayers.
-The author loves Christ and it's clear that she wants to help the reader discover Jesus for themselves.

Cons:
-There were no Scripture readings. It has one verse at the top, and that's it. I would prefer to read a passage of the Bible and then read the devotional...
- The messages tended to be somewhat shallow. There was not really any depth in content. It seemed to just skim the surface of the Bible verse.
-The author uses different translations of the Bible. I think this ok for some translations, however she also used the Message, a paraphrased version of the Bible. This may be alright for some, though some may like to use a literal translation of the Bible for devotionals and Bible study.

It's a simple devotional. If you are looking for easy messages to read, this is for you. However, if you're looking for something to aid you in your study of the Bible, I would look else where.
