I absolutely LOVE your studies and have invited several of my dear friends to join me in doing them! Unfold is truly one of my very, very favorites, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It is so beautifully done, incredibly meaningful, and genuinely life-changing!
I do have one small piece of feedback that I hope you will receive in the loving spirit in which it is intended. The books are just so difficult to read! I wonder if perhaps you are trying to fit a longer study into your usual gorgeous book size, but I’ve noticed there is quite a bit of white space on many of the pages that could possibly be used to make the font larger and darker.
The light gray print is especially challenging, as are the even smaller colored charts with white lettering. I know so many of us are doing these studies in the wee hours of the morning, often with a cup of coffee and our Bibles, and it can be so difficult to see the words clearly!
I also recently ordered the marriage devotional, and the font in that one seems even smaller.
I share this only because I love what you are doing so much, and I don’t want a single word of your beautiful teaching to be missed! There is so much wisdom and goodness in these pages, and I would love for everyone, especially those of us with aging eyes, to be able to soak up every bit of it.
Please, please consider this when designing and editing future studies. Your books are so beautiful, but the words inside are what make them truly special.
Thank you for all the love, thought, and heart you pour into these studies. They are such a gift, and I am so grateful!
This devotional has stretched me. Week 1 feels like a refresher, but week 2 and beyond is challenging, heavy, convicting, life changing, and encouraging. All in the most beautiful way. I need to use my reading glasses because the print is small, but it is so good that doesn’t even matter.
This devotional was truly amazing! I not only love her writing style which is so beautiful, but also the way the her words are so Holy Spirit-filled. This devo helped me so much to understand the nature of the human heart, and also the way that our Lord Jesus wants to captivate it, transform it, and take care of it. If you’re thinking about getting this devo, DO IT, you will not regret it. :)
This book confronted areas of my heart I didn't even know I needed to renew. It's real and raw and deep and it did me so much going through it! There were moments I felt so called out, but it always provided comforting scripture even when I was feeling convicted. Great mix between exposing a heart that needs to be renewed and reminding us of the merciful God we serve! Loved it!
This is a beautiful devotional that I am slowly working through. Im a late comer on the Christian path so I appreciate the depth and beauty of her writing . It is really shifting things in my heart and I will re read this often . But , please Hosanna Revival team , you put such a huge amount of work into the design and feel of these gorgeous books , but the font ! In this devotional is so tiny for any eyes that are challenged not just these mature ones . Also font that is white and small on a darker page , aesthetically lovely but impossible to read easily . I have ordered another devotional from you that I hope has a larger font as I am dealing with chronic pain while I study so patience at times is tested. That said please do not be put off this devotional as it is a brilliant work . Just be aware that the font is a challenge . Ive bought a Bible that I love and cherish from Hosanna and will be return customer for gifts and more . I know as an Artist that creative beauty is a gift from God and this book with its greens and trees and exquisite writing makes my heart sing.
I love this book aswell
This is one of the best devotionals I’ve ever done. I’m not usually a devotional person; meaning, I buy one, do a few days or couple weeks but become bored and stop because they’re repetitive or surface level. Not this one. I took my time, taking months to complete the six weeks. Liesl hits many points and doesn’t shy away from the uncomfortable topics. She faces sin head on, is straightforward with the gospel hope, and uses relatable examples to really pry open my heart issues. It’ll be hard to do any other devotional after this one.
I love everything this company has to offer and have gifted bibles and journals to friends /family because I love all so much ! I have done a few of the devotionals but this one was my absolute favorite and the one I have gifted to many :) thank you hosanna revival for ALL you do :)
I have been so impressed with the spiritual depth and thoughtfulness of the Unfold devotional. I've been working through it with a friend and it makes for a great study to go through with someone else, leading to great discussion. I'm so thrilled that these resources exist!
What a wonderful journey! From receiving this amazing book to the last page. So beautifully written. I received it as a kind gift. Thank you!
So good rich and beautiful
Hosanna Revival revealed many corners of my heart that needed to be brought to light. Encounter the Holy Spirit numerous times while studying this book. The words and lessons are beautiful and will change your heart by the end of the 8 weeks. Highly recommend every reader to study this book.
This devotional is my favorite that Hosanna has to offer. Liesl's writing style is so beautiful, it feels like I'm reading a novel! This book is also convicting, I truly wrestled with the ugly things in my heart in a really meaningful way. While it is convicting, I never feel shameful at the end of a chapter. The layout and length of every day is very manageable for a morning quiet time before work!
Love this company!
The content of this devotional is inspiring, informative and Bible based!
Unfortunately the font is very small and the text is too light! Future prints should be darkened for it to be read with ease. Charts inside are very difficult to read.
Great devotional, poor print quality for easy reading.
Thank you Liesl for writing this very special devotional. It is the best study I have ever done. Such an inspiration to live a more Godly life. Joyful!
This helps me relax and understand the Lords word in a timely manner!
I have been really moved by this book! I love how the author guides us to the word, and then brings it into focus w/ her words.
SUPER relevant for my life right now.
I’m officially saving up to purchase this for a few friends, who I think would really enjoy it as well.
Absolutely adore this devotional book!!
Though I haven't used the book yet, the content seems nice at first glance, and I look forward to using it in conjunction with my Hosanna Bible. The cover feels nice--almost a nylon feeling--and the pages are a nice weight. It also seems well-written and straight-forward, and I love that she includes scriptural references throughout.
However, there are some typographical/design troubles and binding issues. As others have mentioned, the print is very small. Though I like the font, it is not stark enough, looking almost grey. The white type against the light coloured pages is also very difficult, even with perfect eyesight as I'm fortunate and blessed to have. I think the overall hazy, calming look could have been more saturated for functionality's sake. Aesthetically it's nice. Functionally it's tricky. The glue on the binding is very stiff, and it cracks everytime I open the book. Hopefully this will stop with further use without damaging it. As with my Bible, the ribbon was folded in and dented the pages (the pages are thick, so it only affected two pages).
I like what Hosanna is doing, so I hope that they can fix some of these details that will make their books more user-friendly.
Thank you so much Elizabeth--we will pass this along to the rest of our team!
I love this company and all of the Bible studies.
I chose this devotional when I ordered a beautiful Bible from this site and it did not disappoint. As a Christian that found herself straying from her faith for several years, this devotional was absolutely inspiring and helped me rediscover God’s goodness and grace. It helped inspire me to renew my faith and revisit the basic beliefs and practices of being a Christian. I highly recommend this devotional book and think it’s perfect for those new to the faith or for those rediscovering their faith.
This was the first devotional I bought from Hosanna Revival and it has not disappointed! There is so much depth and wisdom in this book and has been exactly what I needed. Liesl has insightful thoughts and backs everything up with scripture. To top it off, the book itself is gorgeous. Feels like Hosanna Revival only want the highest quality when it comes to content and material. I’ve gifted this to a friend and will continue to do so!
Amazing read and study
This devotional is by far on the top of my favorite's list! Liesl has so much wisdom to share in a very clear way, and challenges you to really dive into the scripture and Truth. God spoke so clearly through her to me, and it was so encouraging diving into what she had to say each day. You will be challenged to really peel back the layers of your heart, but the fruit of that hard soul work is so rewarding.
When I saw that this devotional came out something spoke to me to buy it immediately. And I thank God that I did! This devotional allowed me to examine myself and see where my faults are in my relationship with Jesus. And it didn't re ignite my fire for Jesus but reminded me it always been there. With this devotional I would recommend to allow Jesus in so when you go through it He can use this as the Aid to restore and allow your faith to be stronger!
This devotional couldn't have appeared in my life at the right time. Because I had waited for this devotional book and its journal for three months and thought it had gotten lost in the mail, but thankfully, it didn't. I chose this book for two reasons. One, the cover drew me in, and secondly, its title: Unfold: Discerning the Thoughts and Intentions of the Heart. I thought to myself, "I need something like that." I also like that it had questions, and it made me think about a lot of stuff I had in my life. Even the things I struggled with as a believer. It became a daily routine of mine where I started to look forward to opening my Bible and reading and spending time with God in the mornings or evenings. If you're deciding between devotionals or what to buy, then I hope this devotional book is one of them because you won't regret getting it. You'll be blessed by it.
