Jazz, Java & Jesus
Review: Jazz , Java and Jesus - Aleysha Proctor - December 2009
Are you looking for the perfect devotional guide , something to help you move closer in your relationship with God as well as something nice to soothe your soul besides reading all those Chicken Soup books. Aiming for something more directed to the Christian audience ?
Well, look no further as I present to you - the perfect solution "Jazz, Java and Jesus" by Aleysha Proctor . It is a collection of daily devotions that are only one-two pages long, so not too overwhelming but just enough to get you thinking. Each devotion comes with a memory verse and then a ancedote or story about the verse and then for all those who love to write notes and jot down ideas from what they have just reflected on , their is an included space after each devotion for those handwritten notes of God.

Why is it called Jazz, Java and Jesus ?
Jazz, Java & Jesus. Why Jazz? Jazz, because I love smooth jazz music. Many times, it’s soothing jazz music that ushers me into worshipping the Lord over other kinds of music. In 1 Samuel 16, King Saul is distressed and troubled and one of his servants tells him that he needs David, the shepherd boy, to come and play his harp for him and then he’ll be at peace. The Bible tells us that Saul would be “refreshed and well” after David played for him.
Why Java? Java, because I love coffee too! It’s times when I’m having a cup of coffee (decaf, of course!) that I can relax and think of the goodness of the Lord. Even if I’m having coffee with friends, I’m usually meditating and talking to God. Jesus told the Samaritan woman in John 4 that true worshippers won’t worship God at a certain time or place, but will worship Him in spirit and in truth (all the time) because He is a spirit and seeks to be worshipped all the time.
Why Jesus? WHO ELSE?! Because I love Jesus, because He’s the Keeper of my soul, because He’s my Savior, because He’s the only true and living God, because He’s my Healer, because He’s my Friend, because He comforts me, because He prays for me, because He holds my future. Do I need to go
on?
