I love this book that brought me so much joy and peace. This is an excellent devotional to have. Wonderful book. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the arc of this book in return for my honest reveiw. Receiving the book in this manner had no bearing on this review.

This was a difficult book to read in ebook format. Everything was jumbled together and the line breaks and spacing were very off. It seemed to take away from the actual message of the book, which I liked and would have probably liked better in print format.

Found this devotional to be a light, breezy, easy-to-read addition to my rotation of titles. However, I could very easy see this book be adaptable to a more in-depth study as well. Considering using this devotional for gifts to several sisters in Christ, as I know the entries would indeed bring about blessings to the reader.

IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL was sent to me by Net Galley, free of charge, in exchange for my honest review. It was published by Barbour Books, an imprint of Barbour Publishing, Inc. It is a nonfiction Christian devotional…PEACEFUL MEDITATIONS FOR A WOMAN’S HEART.
I pulled a couple quotes that really spoke to me. I love this…RATHER THAN TRUST GOD WITH OUR MESS, WE CLING TO CONTROL AND TRY TO FIX OURSELVES. How many times do we take matters into our own hands, instead of laying them at the foot of the cross? One that comes to my mind is thinking we NEED something RIGHT NOW. So, instead of waiting for God’s timing, we pull out the plastic!
Another one that touched me was this…WHEN YOU INVITE GOD INTO YOUR ANXIOUS HEART, YOU WILL FIND CALM IN THE MIDDLE OF CHAOS. YOU’LL EXPERIENCE A PEACE THAT MAKES NO SENSE TO THE WORLD. AND, REGARDLESS OF THE STRUGGLES THAT WILL COME YOUR WAY, WITH THE LORD’S HELP YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SAY, IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL.
There is a title, a Scripture, a devotion, and a prayer each day, with BEAUTIFUL backgrounds. Each devotion is short – usually just a paragraph. Easy to have a daily time with God.
Barbour Books also has a series of more inspiration for your soul…CHOOSE JOY, CHOOSE PRAYER, CHOOSE GRACE, AND CHOOSE HOPE. Each contains 3 minute devotions for women:
Minute 1 – Scripture to meditate on
Minute 2 – Short devotional reading
Minute 3 – A prayer to jump start your conversation with God
You can find all of these and other books at barbourbooks.com

This book is beautifully done. I love the title and the devotions hit home and are relatable. They are 'bite size' entries that are easily read by a busy mom over some coffee before the kids wake up. A great gift for any woman. Highly recommend!

This is a beautiful devotional. The artwork on each page is stunning.

Each page offers a new topic for consideration with an associated Bible verse. The discussion and prayers for each verse tie each meditation together beautifully.

I think my favorite (or at least the one that spoke to me the most) was "Stay in Today"
"Refuse to worry about tomorrow, but deal with each challenge that comes your way, one day at a time. Tomorrow will take care of itself." Matthew 6:34 TPT

I received an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Uplifting and thought-provoking are words that I would use to describe this book. It Is Well with My Soul is a devotional dedicated to helping the reader find peace, encouragement, and hope in Jesus. Each devotion is precise—there is a scripture verse, a short explanation and challenge for the reader, as well as a prayer.

It is easy to navigate through this book. I found the topics included meaningful to me, and especially applicable right now, with all the anxiety current events have created in our everyday lives. The devotions do not take a long time to read, as they are very brief—this is not an in-depth look at God’s Word, but is a great fit for someone young in their faith or someone working to add a daily quiet time to a busy schedule, or just looking for a nice, uplifting little devotional. I think this would make a great gift.

None of us are immune to anxiety and unrest. When I am in the throes of feeling unsettled, it is difficult to focus my heart and my attention back on one thing. Instead, it is easier to be carried away by the flood of emotions, feelings and fears. It is in the tension of this struggle that I hear the quiet voice "Come to me..." It is Well with My Soul is an excellent resource to help align my heart and mind back to the voice and calling of Jesus. A single verse with a reflection and a focused prayer help guide my scattered thoughts back to Truth. The pages are colorful and attractive, which contribute to drawing my attention in manageable readings. Recommended for Truth seekers of all levels of maturity.

If this book only held the devotion entitled Make Friends, Not Enemies it would be enough! What wonderful, fitting words for today and the world we live in. The even better news is that it does not, there are many many more thought provoking daily devotions. Devotions that will touch your heart and soul and have you seeking the life God intended for you. It’s also beautifully packaged so it makes the perfect gift for those you love❣️

Very heavy in god focus. Found it a little hard to concentrate on the overall message the book was attempting to get across. Overall the book brought me a message of peace and love and tranquility which is what I am sure the writer was hoping to achieve. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I think we all need a book like this! Specially during this Covid adventure we are all living through at this time. This book is a feel-good book that can comfort the souls of anyone or any religious group. It touches on loneliness, our personal struggles and gives ideas on how to open up to God and share our deepest thoughts, concerns and feelings with Him.

A good book to comfort the soul!
