    Book Review

Reviewed by Joy Hannabass for Readers' Favorite

Wendi Gordon has written a book using over fifty scripture verses, and she has added her thoughts at the end of each passage of scripture. She also adds several questions for personal reflection after each verse and devotional. All of the verses in this book are wonderful to go to when you experience times of trouble in your life. It is difficult to say which scripture is my favorites, but the best few are these: Romans 8:35 “Who can separate us from the love of God . . .;” Philippians 4:1 “Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say Rejoice;” Matthew 11:28 “Come to me all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens and I will give you rest."

"Timeless Truths for Troubled Times" is a wonderful collection of scripture verses compiled in one book. This would be good to use for Sunday school classes, small group studies, and individual Bible study as well as for personal devotion. These devotionals do not necessarily have to be read in the order in which they are given in the book, but can be read in any order. And there is a list of scripture passages at the end of this book to help find those verses you are looking for easily. There were no chapters in the e-copy I read, but the format of the book is different, sometimes making the reading seem a little jammed up. At some time in our lives, we all need help such as these scriptures can give, so I encourage you to pick up your copy of this book to have when you need help. "Timeless Truth for Troubled Times" will be a book you will want to keep around for reference.
