This book was exactly what I have been needing to reignite my spiritual life. I have followed Katie’s story for years, reading her first book as a student in grad school feeling completely lost and overwhelmed but wanting to seek Jesus. The way she allows God to move in her life is inspiring. This devotional is a perfect mix of personal narrative paired with analysis of the Word. The Bible reading plan is extremely manageable and easy to follow. I would love for her to write another devotional book in the same format to explore different themes and books of the Bible. I have already recommended it to a friend and certainly will continue to do so.

I’ve followed Katie’s books since her very first book came out and these are always a breath of fresh air to my soul.

In Our Great God, Katie walks us through a scripture reading plan that provides an overview of the Bible in 52 weeks. You’ll get short daily thoughts with a longer reading at the end of each week. This is the perfect book to get into God’s Word and start to learn a little more about the overarching view of Scripture. You’ll focus on who God is and what He has done which is always a good place to be.

About this book:

“The bestselling author of Kisses from Katie takes you on a journey through Scripture to discover more about who God is and how much He loves you, in 52 weeks of power-packed devotional readings.
In a world of uncertainty, we can find peace in knowing that the God who carried His people through the desert, the God who calmed the seas, the God who promised His presence, is still our God today. In this unique five-day-a-week devotional, featuring a flexible format that adapts to your schedule, Katie Davis Majors invites you into a yearlong experience of immersing yourself in the truth of who God is. As Katie has discovered, the more time we spend understanding the richness, beauty, and kindness of God, the more quickly our hearts turn toward Him with our needs and our secrets, our hurts and our longings. Our Faithful God Devotional will help you draw daily closer to the One who sees you, who loves you, and who holds each moment in His hands.”

More so than most devotionals I’ve read and reviewed, this one has the reader reading a lot of Scriptures over the time—and they aren’t written out, you need to have your Bible right there with you. Another thing is that it’s only a chapter a day (for four days and then a reread of them on the fifth day), which feels much more manageable in the daily, busy lives we live. I really liked those aspects of this devotional.

Whenever I review a devotional book for BFCG, I always read it in one sitting and will later choose to see if I’ll go back to it in a couple months to read in the proper way. With this one, I definitely plan to do that because I’d like to savor and learn from this one more.

I will admit that I wasn’t the biggest fan of all the parts that encouraged to put yourself in a Biblical person’s shoes or imagine how they felt at a particular time, but elsewise, I really enjoyed this devotional. I would suggest it for 16+, but it could definitely be read by those in high school and those older as well.

*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
*I received this book for free from the Publisher (Multnomah) for this honest review.

I've never come across a devotional quite like this! Each week is broken into 5 sections, listed as Monday-Friday (though you could read whenever). The first four days of each week have you reading one chapter of Scripture + a very short reflection from Katie, as well as reflecting on a question or prompt from Katie. However, each of these days is in a different book of the Bible. For example:

Week 1
Monday: Genesis 1
Tuesday: Ezra 1
Wednesday: Matthew 1
Thursday: Acts 1
Friday: A longer reflection (plus questions/prompts) from Katie that tie all 4 chapters together

In Week 2, you read chapter 2 from each of these books. As you come to the end of a book, you move to Exodus, Nehemiah, Mark, Romans, and a few select Psalms. It doesn't cover all of Scripture, of course, as there are many more chapters than fits this format for a 52-week devotional. However, themes emerge each week, beautifully displaying the consistent character of God throughout... no matter which book you're reading. The reflections from Katie are the perfect length for this -- there's substance (not surface-level, not full of cliches, not cheesy), but it's not all about her. Highly recommend.

Katie Davis Majors has created a unique year long devotional study of who God is and all He has promised to be. Each day you will learn something new and be encouraged as you not only read the Bible, but compare passages that you may have thought have nothing in common.
I love that this book is only 5 days per week. It gives ample time for digging further into the week’s lessons or catching up if needed. Although there is no reason to feel behind, since each day and week is undated, allowing the reader to start whenever is convenient. If you are looking for something different for your devotional time, I highly recommend trying Our Faithful God.
*I received a complimentary copy of this e-book from NetGalley and WaterBrook Multnomah. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I found this devotional insightful and very interesting. The author has based her devotions on the M’Cheyne bible study method. D3spite being a Christian for over 40 years, this is the first time I have come across this method. The result is 52 weekly devotions that that in take in the attributes of God. Monday to Thursday you read on chapter of a set scripture, There are questions and journal prompt for each of the days. On Friday you reread all four chapters. For the weekend there is the authors insights and reflections.

This is an exceptional devotional book. I look forward to incorporating the M’Cheyne into my quiet time. I can whole heartedly recommend the book, grab your notebook, bible and pen, then dig in.

I love Katie's books. So I read a few entries of this and loved it! however, I plan to actually read this next year as my bible reading, so I didn't want to read too far ahead. But I know i will love it. It's written nicely by having you read a chosen scripture and then delving into it. The cover is very pretty as well. Looking forward into reading this in the new year.

Our Faithful God Devotional by Katie Davis Majors is such a stunning devotional. I think after you finish walking through this devotional it would make for the perfect display book since it's so pretty! I found this devotional by Katie to be so beautifully written and inspiring. I highly recommended this devotional and will be giving it as a gift to my friends and family. Well done Katie!! Thank you for my arc Netgalley.

What a wonderful devotional book! I have followed and admired Katie’s work for many years now. She continues to inspire others to do big things for God. Now, through this devotional you can experience that inspiration daily through thought provoking and spirit stirring devotional. I love that this devotional has recommended chapter readings for each day and then gives some insight and encouragement for readers. I will be gifting this to several of my friends and I encourage you to grab your own copy today!

This book will take me a while to finish but I like how Katie has written it. How we look at three different books of Bible.

This was a book I requested to immerse myself even more in devotionals. I can say that this book clarified my ideas about "how to make a devotional?" and "what are the questions to think about?"

Of course, I would get much more out of this book if I applied it 100% to the 52 weeks of the year, but if that wasn't possible, I can say that reading it helped me outline a devotional plan for myself.

I'm sure this book will greatly bless a Christian just starting out with devotionals, as it will help me.

Suggestion - Creating a planner with this book would be sensational.

Our Faithful God is a devotional that utilizes the M'Cheyne Reading plan for reading the Bible that I hadn't known about prior to reading this devotional. The Monday through Thursday devotions start with chapters in order from Genesis, Matthew, Ezra and Acts. If you are feeling that you need a change up in your quiet time, this will fit right in. The Friday devotions are a recap for the week. Friday devotions were longer than I was accustomed to in meshing with my quite time so I read these later in the day. This was my first read from Katie Davis Majors and found this devotional informative and enjoyable.

I received an advanced reader copy from Netgalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.

This devotional Bible study guide was the nugget of encouragement my soul so desperately needed during this season. The sections are short and yet full of grounding truths of God’s character. Katie’s style is incredibly conversational & much like one friend to another over coffee. Each reading was a nudge to lift my eyes upwards to Jesus and take comfort in His unfailing love & faithfulness. 💛


*Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for the complimentary copy of this book. I was not required to write a positive review. These are my honest thoughts and opinions.

I really love this devotional! The daily readings are short, but each have a Bible portion to read as well. Friday's reading is a little bit longer, as it has a recap of the week. It's simple yet challenging. I can relate to much of what the author says, especially the parts about trusting God.
I definitely recommend this one!!
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance e-copy of this book! All opinions expressed are entirely my own.

I plan on reading through this over the course of the remainder of the year as a daily/weekly devotional practice. However, I did read through a lot of the content and I am very excited to be including this is my daily routine for the new few weeks. I will definitely be sharing this book with like minded friends.

Personally devotionals are my favorite type of read. Not all devotionals are the same and I loved this one! I love how insightful the author was as well as how these daily verses can be incorporated into our lives. Reading her reflections on these verses gives you more in depth ways to look and apply these verses to your day to day life. This was a good read.

Thank you to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for this eARC in exchange for my honest review!

I've been inspired by Katie Davis Majors, founder of Amazima Ministries, for years and have happily read each book she's put out. Her books have always inspired and encouraged me, and this one is no exception! "Our Faithful God Devotional: 52 Weeks of Leaning on His Unchanging Character" is a yearlong Bible study on God and his various character traits. Each week features an aspect of God's character, such as His forgiveness, generosity, triumph over evil, restoration, and mercy. Majors includes chapters of Scripture to read that focuses on God's character, along with personal questions to help you dive deep into Scripture.

With this devotional coming out in November, this would be an excellent Christmas gift for a fellow believer. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

The 'Our Faithful God Devotional' took me on an incredible expedition into the depths of God's character, tailor-made for both the avid learner and the longing soul seeking a reminder of God's nature. This devotional beautifully delves into the essence of who God truly is and how His unwavering love radiates throughout the pages of the entire Bible. From the captivating tales of the Old Testament to the transformative accounts in the New Testament, and even in the present, I found myself captivated by the hands-on approach of this devotional. It not only offered valuable insights from the author but also encouraged me to embark on my personal exploration of God's truth, diving directly into His Word.

“Our Faithful God Devotional” is a journey through the attributes of God, perfect for those seeking to learn and for those who want to see a reminder of the nature of God. This devotional explores who God is and how he constantly demonstrates His great love for us throughout the entire Bible, from the beginning of the Old Testament through the entirety of the New Testament and continually in the present time. I loved how this devotional was hands on - not only providing insight from the author, but primarily walking the reader through their own study of God directly from the Bible.

Why might this devotional be for you? The author answers this within the first couple of pages - “Because He [God] hears the prayers of our weary hearts. Because He longs to be near His people, to remind us of His love for us.”

Thank you Katie Davis Majors, Multnomah Publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this arc.
