Treasured by Leigh McLeroy is a book of devotional insights that
follows the author through some of the major stories and events of
the Bible, picking out a key object from each story (a fig leaf,
Abraham's knife, a smooth stone etc.) and uses those objects to
illustrate God's love and care for us. McLeroy also brings her own
life's experiences alongside each of her reflections on the objects
she has chosen from each story.
There are thirteen short chapters that make for brisk devotional
reading. A discussion guide is also included which would lend
itself well to use in a small group setting. This is a book that is
best for newer believers - within their first year or two of birth
into God's family. Many of the stories and insights are fairy
simple, and most Christians who have been in the faith for more
than a couple of years will be familiar with the major points that
McLeroy is making.
In all honesty, this isn't a title that I can picture myself buying
for our own collection, but it might make a good gift for a new
believer who is just starting to learn about God, his history, and
how Christians relate to Him in their daily lives.
