Unglued Devotional Book Review




I received a free copy of this book through BookSneeze for reviewing purposes.

Unglued Devotional: 60 Days of Imperfect Progress is a companion to the book Unglued: Making Wise Choices in the Midst of Raw Emotions  by Lysa Terkeurst both the devotional and the book are written with the intention of helping the reader better cope with their raw emotions and their struggles with emotions. Set up with a daily opening Scripture, thought for the day, daily devotion and closing prayer this book is intended to be read a chapter a day for sixty days and thus get the reader in the habit of checking in with emotions daily.
This was my first experience reading a devotional, and I must admit that I'm not a fan of the format. That said, I did enjoy the content of the book and plan to read the book that this devotional is the companion to. As a busy mom, I'm not very good at taking the time to read and reflect upon one chapter each day for any length of time, I prefer to sit with a book and read for as long as I can at a stretch, pausing to reflect upon what I'm reading as needed.
I really enjoyed this book though, the author is very down to earth and honest about her own faults which makes her very easy to relate to. I left the book with the feeling that she and I could be friends in real life if we ever met. There were many days where I could recognize myself in what she was writing. I definitely struggle with my emotional responses to situations and often find myself feeling bad about and having to apologize for having blown up at Davis or Matt about something small because other things have been building up.
