After taking every Appreciation class offered at my community college, I knew much of this information. However, The Intellectual Devotional is a perfect tool to learn a bit about a lot of things in only one year. To be honest, I had a problem stopping when the day’s reading, about 5-10 pages, was over. I actually read a week at a time. Not only would this be a good choice to leave by your bedside, it would also make a great bathroom reader.
If you have a resolution to learn something new in the new year, The Intellectual Devotional is the perfect tool. 5 stars!
Thanks to Rodale Books and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.
