A Grandmother's Guide to Praying for Her Family

On the positive side: 1. This book can be slipped into your purse to take along for those "waiting moments" (doctor's offices etc.) 2. The photographs are beautiful and I liked that they showed grandmothers of various ages as well as grandchildren of various ages. 3. God's Word is the focal point of each page. 4. A nice ribbon for marking your place and the book seems to be bound nicely 5. This would be a nice gift for anyone On the negative side: 1. Most grandmothers I know prefer the large type. This book could be difficult to read, also the backgrounds of some pages give less contrast between page and type color. If type size and contrast is not an issue for you or the recipient, then it is a good book and a great gift.

Do you have a friend who's about to become a grandmother? Maybe you are a grandma who would like some guidance on praying for your family. Or perhaps you want to let your mom know she's about to become a grammie. A Grandmother's Guide to Praying for her Family by Nancy Yaeger may meet your needs. Yaeger's lovely little devotional gift book features over 200 devotionals for grandmothers on feminine pastel pages. Each devotional includes Scripture from one of several translations, an application, and a short prayer. Some of the pages contain photographs of grandmothers from various racial and ethnic backgrounds with their families. A pink ribbon helps the reader keep her place. Yaeger supplements the devotional with a "Godly Character and Virtues Index" and a Scripture index at the back. What sets Yaeger's devotional book apart is some of her choices for devotionals. She gives not only the expected devotional subjects but ones such as not taking the Lord's name in vain and the importance of endurance. I appreciated her stance on the authority of the Scripture. Her applications stick to the Word of God. She avoids smarminess, feel-goodism, and triteness. The devotionals are warm, yet crisp, and right to the point. Almost any Christian grandmother would enjoy this attractive little book from the new grandmother to the great-grandmother to the hopeful grandmother-to-be. - Debbie W.
