My Rating: 
Previously, I reviewed Mornings with Tozer, so naturally I wanted to get my hands on the evening version -- devotionals are better when paired. This is the has the same setup as the morning version. This is a yearly, dated devotional is set up and each month has its own "cover page" of sort. Each devotional is on one page and begins with the date on top followed by the topic or title of that devotional. Then, you get the focal scripture and short devotional from one of A.W. Tozer's sermons -- these are his personal thoughts on the scripture. The devotionals are very powerful and mind-blowing. They lead me to some really deep thinking in regards to myself in relation with intimacy with Christ and God.
The difference with this devotional is that it doesn't include a prayer shockingly enough. I can appreciate not having the prayer as it allows for me, as the reader, to really think on what I'm praying. However, I also wish there was still a prayer to help prompt me. The cover for the morning devotional is more on a burnt orange color with a rooster on it. This devotional is a gorgeous teal color with an owl.
The design and layout of this devotional is perfect. This pairs so well with the morning version and would be an awesome pair to have on your nightstand or bedside table for use. I totally recommend it! I am just falling in love with A.W. Tozer's work!
