Still Learning – Yes We Are
by Jan Cox
I love these short devotionals. Each one is a snippet into Kimberley’s life and faith. She reminds us to keep working on our pursuit of God. Great quotes like:
“If you want to change the way you feel, you first must change the way you think.”
A special devotional that gives us a bright start to each day.
Very Thought-Provoking
by Lynn Collier
I recently finished reading this devotional book written by Kimberley Payne and I found it to be very enjoyable. The book is full of wisdom and displays a deep understanding of God’s Word. The author tackles difficult questions about faith and life, such as “Does everything happen for a reason?” in a welcoming and encouraging manner that invites readers to reflect on their own lives.
Kimberley Payne supports her answers with numerous Bible verses that offer deeper insight. She also shares personal stories that showcase her genuine love for life and her Saviour.
I’ve read several of her Christian faith-based books, and she never disappoints.
Relatable and Thought-Provoking
by Melanie M
Still Learning is filled with devotionals that are relatable to everyone’s life. The honest questions are ones that many ask and the reflections to these questions help Christians of every stage understand that everything that happens in life can lead us to know God more and walk in a closer relationship with Him. These practical examples of real-life events show how God has worked in Kim’s life and inspires readers to seek a closer walk with the Lord as well.
Solid!
by TKrauss
This collection of easy to read devotionals by Kimberley Payne is rock-solid, no-nonsense, and doctrinally sound. It is not a deep theological treatise, but written in a very accessible style that is easy to understand. I’d recommend it as a devotional for new believers or those looking for answers to many common questions about Christianity. However, even seasoned Christians will find thought-provoking fodder for further reflection.
She writes from her heart. So much here to absorb.
by Ida A.
There is so much here that it is hard to single out any devotions. So many spoke to my heart, from suggestions on how to read the Bible to proof that all the Bible says is true, all written from a deep love of God, His Son, and the Holy Spirit.
One devotion that particularly struck a chord with me is ‘What Does the Sign of the Cross and ‘in Jesus’ Name’ Have in Common?’ I’m a Catholic, and Kimberley is a Protestant. I found Kimberley’s perspective, as a Protestant, both enlightening and unifying.
Kimberley kindly sent me a preview of her book well before publication. There are 100 devotions—a lot of reading. I picked randomly for the purpose of this review. But I will buy the print copy as soon as it becomes available so I can leisurely read in bed.
Anything Kimberley writes is good. But this devotional is her best yet. Highly recommended for a good read. She writes from her heart, personal experience, and a deep love of her God. You read as if she is sitting beside you, sharing her thoughts.
Thoughtful exploration of faith matters
by Lisa J. Lickel
In her new book, Payne sets out to expound with sincere simple kindness many of the questions and sometimes their answers regarding what makes the Bible so fascinating.
Often using examples of three, easy to remember, the author begins by sharing why and how to read the Bible, why it’s trustworthy, and why the Old and New Testaments work together.
Along the way the author uses examples from her own family about teaching and living the doubts we all have about faith, God, morality, and history. Why should we follow any of the Biblical “rules” if they no longer make sense? This is the topic of the segment “Should We Follow All the Laws in the Bible Today?”
Payne, a prolific author, shares in these lovely essays examples of how and life are deeply woven, no matter what you believe. The joy of finding lost ones; what about baptism, prayer—to whom, when, keeping a journal, what to do with your doubts, and even how to know if you’ve committed the unforgiveable sin of blasphemy. I appreciate the author’s candidness, the ways she shares how she came to understand what she believes, and even the learning curve. For example, learning about prophetic utterances had some unintended consequences. Payne took the time to learn more about her experience with a pastor she trusted, and realized there were better ways to share messages in faith.
Still Learning sets out to do what it promises: celebrate the beauty of faith and inquiry. Most topics include scriptural references, but are not set up in traditional devotional ways. Most of these 100 topics are a couple of pages long and easy to read and ponder. Recommended for inspirational readers teen and up who want to explore matters of Christianity.
by Ed Hird
Kimberley has a very soothing style of writing. Each chapter has an engaging thoughtful message. This new book focuses on the value of bible reading and how we can trust it. She explains how bible reading came later to her in life after her born-again experience. The bible, says Kimberley in her new book, can change your life in so many ways. There is much wisdom to be found in looking at her book. I highly commend her book for others.
by Melissa Henderson
I love this book! I believe everyone can benefit from reading this book. Whether someone is seeking more information about God and faith, or is a long time believer and follower of Christ, there are many points to glean in the book. This is a book that could be read over and over. The reflections are inspirational and encouraging.
