HAVE YOU EVER…?
Wendy Deanna Bird
Have You Ever…? is a collage of moving, encouraging and motivating stories that could be used with advantage as a daily devotional.
Each vignette is liberally underscored with appropriate Scripture quotes, uplifting verses, stories and prose and each of the eighty short, easily read, often challenging but always relevant chapters begins with the words HAVE YOU EVER…
Have You Ever…? is an excellent book for those Christians who are in need of motivation or encouragement. It is also great reading for those quiet times alone with the Lord.

HAVE YOU EVER …?: INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHTS FOR CHRISTIANS – REALISTIC AND RELEVANT TO OUR DAILY LIVES
Wendy Deanna Bird
This book is distinctively different from regular devotionals. After a short focusing Bible verse, the meditations all begin with the challenge ‘Have you ever … [done a certain thing]?’ The challenges are varied – from the spiritual to the emotional and everyday living. There are ninety six articles and forty two topics of interest grouped under six themes: Almighty God, Christianity, Sin, Stress, Faith in Action and Salvation. Many incorporate a follow-up story, and each ends with some reassuring Biblical verses and a poem or hymn verse. Thoroughly documented citations and copious endnotes bear witness to the detailed research and the theological depth. The author’s varied life experiences are evident in the analogies – from amaryllis to mosquito nets, inexperienced oxen to prairie lupins. One has to agree with the comment of the editor George Gunston: ‘a unique book of universal reader interest. ‘ NS

This is a collection of inspirational thoughts for Christians. It’s half-way between a devotional and a Bible Study, and would be helpful for women who are new believers. WN
