This was a great devotional bible study book. I prefer the devotionals that are broken down into short entries that you can find time for each day. And when you have more time you can read more than one entry. But the three-minute devotional doesn't leave room for excuses.

My favorite devotional was the Worriers Psalm, Psalm 37:1. I already had the verse underlined in my bible. This book helped the verse speak to me again in a different way.

Review:

I found this devotional very helpful in my daily living. I like that it was divided into three sections: Scripture, Devotional Reading and a Prayer. Every woman has three minutes to devote to prayers and inspiration. None of them are very lengthy , they are all short, sweet and to the point. There are a variety of topics that are addressed and I feel sure that you will find some things in this book that will be helpful to you.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a honest review. I would like to thank Netgalley and Barbour Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Cute layout and had a good variety of verses. As the book says this is not meant to be a tool of a deep bible study just quick 3 min reminders to set your focus during the day. For that purpose I think it is quite effective. Can't give it a 5 star review as I think some of the promises are taken out of context but overall I would say a nice little devotional.

Choose Hope: 3-Minute Devotions for Women is an enjoyable devotional book complied by the Babour Staff.

According to the Introduction, "These devotions are especially for those days when you need a bit of encouragement and a gentle reminder to: CHOOSE HOPE! Three minutes from your busy day is all you'll need to refresh your spirit and fill your cup to overflowing with joy for the journey."

Each daily devotion features the scripture verse, devotional text, and quick prayer. Also, a Scripture Index is included at the end of the book. Unfortunately, the font and illustrations are depicted in a faded blue color, which is slightly hard to read.

Choose Hope is geared towards women of all ages, from young adults to older generations. With one devotional per page, this book may easily be added to your current personal devotional time or it's a nice way to start setting aside time each day to spend with God.

"Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken." Psalms 62:5-6

Choose Hope was a good devotional read. I think it is perfect for those busy mornings or nights when you just don't have much time and yet still want to do a devotional.

The readings are very short and contain a Bible verse, devotional, and prayer. Simple and yet very good. I recommend this book.

Sometimes we rush, girls, women of all ages, sometimes we don't have time for God although we can be Believers. Sometimes we don't find time for praying as well.

But we are here because of Him.

So, what to do?

Also for this purpose, keeping alive the connection with Lord everyday Barbour Staff created this precious book

Choose Hope: 3-Minute Devotions for Women

Released this June 1 it will be great as a gift but also like a book to keep in your pursue for being read when you have some minutes of time to dedicated to Him for a reflection for trying to find inspiration, for an urgent answer, or just because in that moment you think you want to establish a contact with Him.

You'll find the proper answer to every doubt thanks to these reflections. The book is organized in minute. The first one is a scripture to meditate on. the second a short devotional reading and the third minute a prayer for starting your connection with God, although I love the second part the most because according to my point of view can bring you in a direct conversation with God. But of course, it's all up to you.

I can tell you that this book will be a balm for your soul and will donate you a lot of relaxation.

Why? Because God and our Lord are Light, and thanks to Lord we can be sure that our life will be fine.
Questions answered, problems sorted out and we will see the light after the tunnel.

There are meditations about gratitude. We mustn't never forget what God has given us in terms of talents and joys and blessings.
But the book will reassure you again about joy and smiles, dreams and blessings, and will remember to you that He won't never forget you. Lord will be our light in the darkness, our main Helper during difficulties.

Beautiful!

I don't use rhetoric saying this: I read every Sunday morning at the mass of our little parish the Holy Word in the italian countryside where I live in but I understood all the love Lord is able to give us more clearly reading these books.

Bravi!

What a heartfelt devotional!! I connected with each verse and loved how the author explained it clearly. The prayers were truly essential to the verse and made it even better. I will definitely gift this one to friends and family.

As an avid fan of devotionals, I rank this one as one of my favorites. Very easy reading and the addition of what the devotion is speaking about is awesome. You can find a devotion based on what you are needing at that time. I often give devotionals for gifts to friends, family, co-workers, etc and this is one that I will be gifting in the future. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the advanced reading copy of this book in return for my honest review. Very inspirational book.
