Divine Duct Tape: 2nd Edition: A Devotional Journey in Luke: finding ah-ha moments in an uh-oh life

Awesome devotional and will help you hear the voice of God in your everyday life. I would recommend this book to every Christian who has a heart to grow deeper in their relationship with Christ. I love how Kelli shares her humorous events in her life and insight in God's word.Ron Sandison

I received the book in a very timely fashion from Amazon. It is an outstanding book for Christians that want to pump up their walk with the Lord. I would recommend it as a personal library keeper so you can review it at least once a year.

Sweet devotional! Highly recommend! Mama of 9 with 4 youngest having special needs~This was a dear reminder that He is with us every step of the way no matter how challenging it can be!

The title is appropriate, because it sticks with you during the day. I could not read just one entry per day though...and sometimes I would re-read an entry to get through an uh-oh moment of my own. Kelli's questions after the God Thoughts helped me focus on how to apply NOW. Loved her honesty, loved the book--faith can have some very "real" moments.

Encouraging book.

From the blog [...]It seems as though there are a plethora of Christian devotional books on the market. They are a pretty popular means of studying scripture and capturing the meaning behind each, then applying it to one's own life. Divine Duct Tape: A Journey Through Luke, by Kelli Ra Anderson, is such a book. Although, is comes with a bit of a twist: it's humorous in a way you don't expect.To begin, there is the sub-sub title of the book, "Finding ah-ha moments in an uh-oh life." If the reader knows anything, it tells you Anderson has children and there are moments regarding them, mentioned therein. That sub-title alone sets the tone for the book, as it resonates itself, throughout. Then, the reader stumbles across Anderson's reason for the title, Divine Duct Tape, which, in itself (for many a Christian), makes way too much sense: "...I discovered that God could save me in ways that really mattered. To fix me in ways only He knew I needed. From the inside out, He began to mend my soul, forgive the unforgivable, and assure me that I was a heart worth salvaging. Divine duct tape." (11)Anderson lets the reader in on one fact that she keeps evident with each personal contribution: She's not perfect. She's not a "perfect" Christian pretending to be on a perfect walk with the Lord. She's not, she insists! I like this about her, as it truly contributes to how she relates to the scripture at hand, the explanation and exploration of it, as well as what she's hoping to portray.She also implores the reader to find solitude. Even Jesus went into the wilderness or mountaintop once in a while and we should too! (Amen!)Anderson explores the book of the Apostle Luke, who was a doctor. He walked closely with Paul (in fact, he was probably Paul's physician. Luke's writings are more scholarly than the other apostles. Anderson seems to meditate deeply on the meaning of each verse not only sharing interpretations but also asking questions and answering the contemplations she sets out, for each individual reader, herself.Anderson is very transparent about her life; her choices help us know she is real. She struggles and she finds the humor in the most difficult or mundane situations, just like we all do (or at should at least try to do). Her testimony is both touching and thought provoking. Her family life is front and center for the world to see, take it or leave it. I believe it took great courage for Anderson to show her world to readers, as she does.This particular book of devotionals could be a great tool for "new" Christians, just starting their walk and needing to see a realistic side of faith--or--mature Christians, who have perhaps had set-backs and are seeking fellowship with another Christian who has struggled; knowing oh-so-well that God is a loving and forgiving God! This is a great resource for encouraging people back into their walk.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Divine Duct Tape. The set up of the book is well thought out, providing a clear explanation of the verses from Luke and following up with thought provoking questions and personal life application. I loved the stories that the author shared and could really relate to them. I especially liked the line by line attention to each verse in these first five chapters of Luke. It helped me focus on the great details that Luke provides. Great writing and I look forward to reading future volumes!

I have enjoyed Divine Duct Tape very much. It has been meaningful to travel through Luke with someone I enjoy. Each entry is both a spiritual journey and a reflection on every day life. Half-way through the book, Kelli felt like an old friend.
