12 Monthly Devotions for a Purposeful Relationship with God
By Enzo Surin
Author and Inspirational Speaker
Praise for our devotionals
Your monthly devotionals are really thoughtful and refreshing. I think the unique thing about your devotionals is that they are really practical, in terms of applying the word to your life. I usually forward them to my friends list so they can be blessed too. – Quiana Burwell
A much needed blessing to guide the soul and spirit when it is challenged by external factors. Your devotionals are a much needed addition to our time to commune and talk with God. They are a compliment to how I may feel or have been feeling about a particular issue and push me to work more diligently in understanding what is needed to follow His plan. – Colette Reid
The monthly devotionals always come at just the right time. They always seem to relate to whatever it is that is going on in my life, as if they were written just for me. The way they make me stop and think really helps put things into perspective and remind me of the need to keep in touch with God on a daily basis. – Kristen Pierce
Your devotionals have always been a source of inspiration to me. Your messages fill me with hope and a deeper understanding of God's love. It is amazing how your writing can calm me to the soul or bring a smile to my face even in the most hectic of times. – Katie Foley
The monthly devotionals have been a silent guide for me. They have been an easy, inspiring, comforting resource while trying to navigate this thing called life. You have a way with words, full of wisdom, very simple yet profound! I look forward to my monthly devotionals just to get away, even briefly. – Sophie Karanja
I receive approximately 75 emails every day. I get so many that I miss opening some of them. However, when I receive your monthly devotional, I take notice and open it immediately. It is a bright spot in my day. I find that they are always uplifting and remind me of how God cares about me. I find that the subjects pertinent and applicable to today's life. – Lynne Pina

It was quickly apparent that I was reading, not just a devotional book, but a devotional tool, complete, as the author states, with a friend along for the journey.
It was all the more appreciable that the author wrote this book in the midst of his own daily pressures, routines and cares. A Different Kind of Love, is no armchair devotional, it is going to require a pen, a notebook, and participation.
