My Two Cents

As a missionary kid who grew up in Africa, God in Africa captured my heart from the very first page. Through these 90 meditations you will get a peek into Africa, her land, wildlife, people, and varied cultures, but most importantly, you will see that God is indeed in Africa as you experience her majesty, mystery, and beauty He created and continues to work in and through.

Even if you have never visited Africa, these meditations will grab ahold of your heart as Shirley Corder describes what we once called “The Dark Continent” in beautifully vivid color so that we stand back in awe at the masterpieces that point us to Creator God.

At times as I was reading, I could actually see in my mind’s eye the things about which I was reading—an African sunset, a chameleon, the beautiful African people.

The questions at the end challenge you to dig deeper as you consider the work of God in your own life.

I read this book over the course of several days and found it difficult to put down, and I plan to incorporate it in my rotation of daily devotionals/meditations.

NOTE: I received a complimentary copy of this book for reviewing from Shirley Corder. I was not required to provide a positive review. Thoughts in “My Two Cents” are my own opinion.
