Thank you Barbour Publishing for providing a copy of this beautiful devotional via NetGalley.
Aesthetically, this book is pleasing with its simple and modern vibe. Colors and graphics are kept to a minimum allowing the reader to keep focus on the written content. The daily devotions are set up in a way that are supported by Scripture and applicable to everyday life.

Many of the devotions tell a snippet of a Biblical account, exposing the reader to a multitude of events documented within the Bible, and then gracefully weave the underlining message into everyday life. While others provide imagined scenarios relatable to real life situations and tie them back into Scripture seamlessly. The messages are uplifting and motivational without being full of fluff or generic, worn out phrases. This is a reminder of where our true strength and hope comes from and a lovely devotional to add to one’s quiet time with God daily.

I really enjoyed this book, I appreciated the practical applications, the reassurance that I am not the only one feeling bombarded by my harsh inner critic.

The daily encouragement was like a pep talk for my soul, short and to the point, and I found it changed my mindset.

This is definitely a book I shall be returning to time and time again.

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this book in return for my honest review.
