I have to say, I definitely enjoyed this book (pun intended). The author makes a compelling argument for the goodness of God displayed through His gifts to us and, just as importantly, His desire for those gifts to be received and enjoyed by us. We spend so much effort trying to focus on our busy work and chiding ourselves or feeling guilty for taking time out for unnecessary delights, but the author insists that simple pleasures found in the midst of the mundane are just as monumental as the tasks we set out to accomplish. It is not about how much we get done, but how well we relate with God while we're doing it; and so often He uses what delights us as a means to connect with us. Reveling in and sparing time for little joys is not neglectful; it is worshipful.
Blogging for Books provided this book to me for free in exchange for an honest review.
