This 366 page devotional is written by various Christian women, many of whom are well known including Joni Eareckson Tada, Sandi Patty, Barbara Johnson, Luci Swindoll and Sheila Walsh, just to name a few. Each devotional is just one page in length and covers a wide range of topics with a Scripture verse at the top of the page just below the title of that day's devotional. The writers tie an experience they had with a verse of Scripture using it to encourage today's women. At least that's how I view their writings. Some of the devotionals are humorous, such as those by Barbara Johnson like "You There, With The Scissors!", while others are of a more serious note.
Over-all, I enjoyed the book. However, I didn't feel there was much depth to most of the entries. Looking up the Scriptures noted on each page would help with that, though. For a relaxing read, I would recommend it to anyone but, if you're looking for more substance in regard to living the Christian life, I would recommend something more along the lines of devotionals written by such authors as Charles Stanley or David Jeremiah, to name just two.
The book has a very attractive cover and is, in my opinion, of quality construction and would make a really nice gift.
I received this book from Booksneeze a book review program of Thomas Nelson Publishers in return for giving a review. I was not required to post a positive one. I was just asked to be honest.
