A Real Book

A friend of mine was astonished when she realized that Do You Know How God Loves You? is a paper book – what she calls a “real book” printed in ink on paper. She had been looking at the videos on You Tube, including the book trailer by Misty Taggart, Do You Know How God Loves You?, “Ten Ways to Listen” , and “Thoughts for Meditation” . Also she had been reading the blogs mentioned on Facebook and following the links there. She is a member of the group, Do You Know How God Loves You? on Facebook.

When she saw the big book with its beautiful cover, she was astonished. BookSurge suggested the price of $26.99 for it because of the amount of material and the size of the book. It is 416 big pages in readable but not large print. The pages are 10 X 7 inches and the book is 1 inch thick. Its shipping weight is 2 pounds.

The plan for using it is to read 1 page per day during individual quiet time. Since there are 366 individual inspirational devotionals,1for each day of the year, the price for each day is less than 7 ½ cents.

In addition to the daily devotionals, there are 2 extra pages of material at the beginning of each month. These studies help the reader to focus on the monthly subject.

Another friend commented on the thorough index, which is 5 pages with double columns of topics that make this book a good topical study.

Some people have told me that they plan to read the book again next year. Others have started at the beginning and have read several days at a time.

As I wrote this book, I prayed, meditated, and studied. It was my aim to give the reader something to bring spiritual comfort while supplying knowledge of God. Whenever possible I included the portions of scripture related to each subject on the pages with the devotionals because I believe that God's holy word will show us what we need to understand about Him.

“So shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:11)
