Can a religious book be delicious as well? It's what it tried to do Bethany House with Coffee Shop Devos by Tessa Emily Hall . Published this September, Tessa Hall starts to saying that it's beautiful to chat with a friend in a coffee shop. It's an intimate moment, a moment just for us and our best friend, where we share latest news, where we speak of our sufferance and joys, with calm, relaxation while we are sipping also a coffee or a drink derived by coffee. Some examples? A Mexican Americano, a Midnight mocha, a Nothing but Nutella Frappe (yum!) and so on.God, Jesus, adds the author, is our best friend, in particular in an age like the teen-age age when girls feel that no one can understand them.
The approach used by the author is pretty warm and...sweet because accompanied not just by devotionals but...yummy recipes as well. Hall wants to stimulate the conversation of the teen-ages with God, thanks to Scriptures, meditation, imagining that they are sat in a coffee shop with Him, and then expanding this imaginary conversation on social media, their friends, online, and wherever they will want.
Every devotional starts with a recipe, then reflections from some verses of the Scripture.
I thank NetGalley and Bethany House for this eBook.
