A compact and attractive devotional. Each page has suggested verses, a morning prayer, and an evening reading. I couldn't figure out why the subheading said it was for women, because neither the reading nor the prayer had anything to do with women, feminism, or anything overtly female (except where the word "man" has been substituted with "women" in some verses). Maybe it's just because the cover and page headings have pink flowers?

Also, this is not a major complaint, but the pages say "day one," "day two", etc., instead of "January 1" or "April 14". I like it when I'm reading the page for the current calendar day, but that's just me.

I am not sure how this book ended up in my review pile. I did not request this book. It is a pretty daily devotional that gives morning prayer and an evening reading that are all connected to a bible verse. Each day also has a theme. Since I am not Christian I am not the right person to ask if they are correct, but the themes were connected with challenges you would face every day.

This is a wonderful devotional. It has a morning and evening prayer and each day has a reading from the Old Testament, New Testament and Psalms. What a wonderful way to begin and end your day. This book would make a wonderful gift! Thank you Barbour Publishing via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

A wonderful daily devotional. I love the format. There is a scripture reading and prayer for each morning and each evening. It is easy to follow and easy to read. It only takes a few minutes to read, so it is great if you have a busy schedule! I highly recommend this book. It would make a great gift for friends and relatives!

This was a lovely compilation to start and finish the day. It was a particularly good time to read this with all the cancellations of church services. It’s also a nice way to keep God in your life daily.

A tender invitation into the power of God’s word as you start and finish your day. Old Testament, New Testament and Psalms or Proverbs readings are provided each day. The prayers for morning offer a suggested prayer that reflect upon the main themes identified in the daily reading and then the evening readings leave you with reflections to meditate upon as your final thoughts for the day. I highly recommend a journal to track your own thoughts and growth. While designed for more personal reading, I can see how this would facilitate a small group study as well. I received a complimentary copy and all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

This book is a great tool to use in reading the Bible on a daily basis and read it through in one year. It tells you what scripture to read each day. There is a daily morning prayer and an evening reading. This will help you stay on track all year.
*I was given a copy by Barbour publishing. This is my honest opinion.
