We Are Spiritual Beings






As spiritual beings we tend to look for the meaning in the words authors put to paper.  Such is the case with this book.   Selena Sarns has worked to link the inevitable spiritual tendencies in this human drama to the love and works of God even though there is no mention of Him; good, bad, or otherwise.

So, I read this devotional book after I saw the first movie.  I have not read the series as yet, but I did find the movie enjoyable.  This book of devotions covers the entire book series so there are spoilers.  I had a good idea of what to expect from certain scenes in the second movie based on this book.   

Selena Sarns does a good job of relating how a scene from the books reflects, or does not reflect, the characteristics of Jesus and how His followers should behave towards others.  Each devotion starts with a passage of scripture followed by a summary of a scene from the series.  While God may not be a specific part of the Hunger Games series itself, God is very present in this devotion.

This is great for a parent, or friend, of a die-hard Hunger Games junkie—and there seem to be a lot of those.  Whether it’s a book you read together with you child or just to gain knowledge to help a friend think more deeply about Jesus Christ, this book is worth reading.
