God's Little Devotional Journal for Women

Great read

I absolutely love this book. I have never been one to journal my thoughts, but this book makes it so easy. I love how the devotion stories lead right into the questions that you answer. At first I didn't write too much, but the more days I read it, the more I wrote. The questions really get you to thinking deeper than you would just reading the Bible verses and the stories. It has totally changed my quiet time with God. I look forward to getting up every morning and sharing my thoughts with Him. Another thing that is so wonderful about it is that it will be a wonderful keepsake for my children. It is a beautiful book inside and out, and it is the best of a devotion book and a journal.

I love this book! I actually read it every night before I go to bed to help calm the day down and settle down for sleep. I also use this book in accordance with prayer to talk with God. I pray then I normally write the date and a small note on what is going on if something major is going on in the back of the book. Then I randomly open the pages neatly print the date and read the devotion. I have been doing my devotions this way for about the past 9 months or so and everytime I open the page I am faced with something that is completely fitting to my situation. I love it. I feel that God talks to me threw this book and I enjoy my nightly time with him and "our" book. I also enjoy going back threw the little notes and then searching for the pages that have that date or vice versa. It has lots of wonderful sayings and verses and stories that can be enjoyed over & over again.

I love the simple, yet lovely and heart-warming manner in which this story is told. Every page speaks volumes to me, and is a reminder to look more closely at those around us and realize what a special treasure they are. Also, the illustrations by C. Michael Dudash are exquisitely beautiful, full of rich detail and emotion. I love to sit and slowly soak up the rich delights of each page. I did notice when looking at the book review of the volume that includes two other Christmas tales, that the wording was a bit different. That one contained a few more sentences here and there, but the extra wording seemed to detract from the flow of the story. I much prefer the wording in this single volume. I highly recommend this book! I keep this treasured book out all year long!

This little book has been a great inspiration. It has often given me an answer to a situation that I face during the day after reading the daily passage. I love mine so much that I have purchase this book as a gift and my friends have love it as well.
