Summary

A Tidbit Romance is a compilation of 60 devotionals penned by Erin Cross. She does not claim to be a writer. Rather, this book grew out of her wanting to minister to some women with one “tidbit” letter. From there, she wrote 59 more and published what she now calls A Tidbit Romance.

Each devotional is no more than four pages. Each devotional drives begins with a passage of Scripture sometimes one verse in length, sometimes four or five or more verses in length. Each “application” section of each devotional contains well-thought out statements drawing core truths upon which to meditate each day.

Review

As I read A Tidbit Romance, I looked for something significant to critique Erin on and really could not find anything of significance. Her devotional is perfect for the busy mom (or dad) wanting to spend a bit more time meditating on the depths and riches of Christ our Savior. The book is aptly named “tidbit” as there is just enough to chew on for the day but not so much that you choke!

Recommendation

While A Tidbit Romance is no Valley of Vision or Morning and Evening, it certainly serves the same purpose–to draw you closer to God. Check out the free sample and then order your copy today.
