Sometimes we all need a friendly voice of encouragement to help us start the day. Bob Goff has provided a much-needed companion for your morning routine in his latest book, Catching Whimsy: 365 Days of Possibility. The daily passages are meant to help readers “wake up to curiosity, delight, and possibility” in their lives. I have been a huge fan of this author and motivational speaker since I read his first book Love Does. His folksy style of writing and personal way of addressing important topics have forever endeared him to fans. Goff is a trusted voice and a go-to author for me.

Catching Whimsy is a collection of devotionals designed to be read once a day for a year. The short passages include an often catchy title (for example “You’re Beautiful, Even on a Bad Hair Day”), followed by a Bible verse and a five-minute read related to the topic. Those who are unfamiliar with Goff’s style will soon feel as if they are engaging in an intimate conversation over coffee through the quick bits of inspiration provided in the devotionals. The book, though having dates on each reading, can be read at any time of year to encourage and inspire readers. 

Releasing December 10, 2024, this book would make a great gift for someone on your holiday shopping list.
