What do we want from a book of daily devotions?  For one thing, an uncomplidated, easy, well-focused style.  And then, can we have biblical teaching in a digestible form?  Plus, may we please have encouragement and challenge? A tall order, but Sharon James serves it in abundance - and with a major bonus.  Anyone using Gentle Rain on Tender Grass (the title is supplied by Moses) will - almost without noticing it - have been treated to a careful and wise study of the first five books of the Bible.  By the final page you may be asking when the next volume will be available!
