Scattered Raindrops : Reflections on the Word

Rating:
Summary: great reflections
Review: Deacon Rich's book is not the kind of book I normally read. In fact, I am not even a Christian. However, when we were sent a copy as a gift, I sat back with a cup of coffee and Scattered Raindrops and started to flip through it. Three hours later I finished "flipping through." Rich writes with wisdom, intelligence, and humor--and he writes about topics that effect everyone, whatever our beliefs. Deacon Rich's prose is clear, concise, and full of insight into the human condition. His message is full of love and hope and faith; reading this book reminded me what it means to be alive and why we need to appreciate each moment we have.

Summary: Awesome! Great gift idea!
Review: The reflections in this book are extremely meaningful! I felt the book was very easy to read and helped me understand Jesus in a way I had never experienced. Each chapter has a special theme ( ex. hope, forgiveness, love, fear, suffering, etc.) and follows the church year, beginning with Advent. However, I read the chapters based on the theme I felt I needed at the time. This is an excellent book to read for daily devotionals and prayers. I've given several copies of Scattered Raindrops to friends and they love it!!!
