I can't get enough of L. M. Montgomery and Anne of Green Gables, so of course I jumped on the chance to review this title. I expected a comforting little book, easy to read and gently reminding me of the good-natured attitude toward life and people Anne generally takes. I didn't expect to be curled in my chair crying, grateful for God's love for me. This little book packs a big emotional punch, reminding you of your value and worth in the Father's eyes, and challenging you to share his love with the world. I loved it.

As a fan of “Anne of Green Gables,” I am pleased to find that Rachel Dodge’s new book “The Anne of Green Gables Devotional,” is filled with stories and thoughts that link this classic to the word of God. I am one who tries to see the love of God and His purpose in all things, and this book definitely fits that bill. For those who have never read the story, Dodge’s book would be an excellent companion piece to keep alongside the original.

Anne of Green Gables was my all time favorite book. An introduction to Anne brought a breathe of fresh air. Her quirky antics and her outlook on life were always so uplifting. So finding a devotional which follows the book chapter by chapter was so sweet and fun. Over forty days we visited each chapter and found the Words God intended us to see. Really being able to examine what Lucy Montgomery might have been showing us through Anne. I look forward to one day sitting down with Anne the book and Anne the devotional and really studying them . It would be a pleasure to examine and read them together. I received a copy through Netgalley. A review was not required and done entirely on my own.

Story Notes

This was a wonderful combination of a favorite fictional book with the truth of God's word. How fun it was to reread the story alongside some very applicable passages of Scripture. I could see this study being one that would speak well to teen girls as well as adult ladies as it points out some truths that many subscribe to about belonging and feeling at home. I found the study to also enhance my understanding of Anne and her journey to find home and family. Comparing it with the draw of the Spirit on us to find our home in God was very well done. I plan to use this study again as I'm sure it has more to find than what I did on my first read through. So very thankful I was offered this lovely study!

Really great introduction to this classic book. I’m going to recommend it to interest others in taking the time to read this classic!

In this heart-touching book, Rachel Dodge has given us a thoughtful and encouraging devotional for “kindred spirits” everywhere.

If you are a devoted fan of the “Anne of Green Gables” series, this devotional is a must-read. The book itself is a hardcover book that has lovely graphic designs and illustrations that capture the heart of each chapter.

But it’s the inspiring devotions that brightly shine all throughout the book. As you read through “Anne of Green Gables”, the devotions accompany and expand on each chapter. There’s a “personal application” for each day, as well as a written prayer and scripture verses. There’s discussion questions included for each chapter, and a glossary entitled “The World According to Anne Shirley”.

This book would be great to read with a young lady, or even a group of young ladies, as a faith-based book study of “Anne of Green Gables.”
I’m going to take time myself to read “Anne” again a chapter a day and read these devotions along with it. This book shouldn’t take the place of a regular, deeper Bible study, but who couldn’t use the hope and optimism that L.M. Montgomery shared with us in the vivid character of “Anne”? This author uncovered for us the deeper spiritual applications from that novel that we can apply to our lives each day.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Rachel Dodge’s The Anne of Green Gables Devotional exceeded my expectations. It is a lovely devotional tying the book Anne of Green Gables to the Work of God. After reading just too of these devotionals I went looking for my copy of Anne of Green Gables. I discovered this series not as a child but as a young adult. Still It has been many years since I had read the book. Now I am rereading it with a different perspective, a perspective of faith. From the opening statement by Anne Shirley, “It’s a million times nicer to be Anne of Green Gables than Anne of nowhere in particular, isn’t it?” I knew this would be special. By the end this devotional was reminding me, it is better to be call a child of God than a child of anyone or anything else!

I loved everything about this devotional, the colored drawings, the background of the book scene, the spiritual and practical application, the prayers and the chosen Bible verses. The only way it could be better is if it included more than 40 devotions.

This devotional along with a copy of the classic L. M. Montgomery novel would make the perfect Christmas gift. I am making my list now. My suggestion is to be sure to buy one for yourself too.

The publisher through Net Galley provided a digital ARC. I have voluntarily decided to read and review, giving my personal opinions and thoughts.

The Anne of Green Gables Devotional by Rachel Dodge is a sweet and faithful devotional that captures the spirit of L.M. Montgomery's classic novel. Dodge includes beautiful illustrations that would be worthy of an art print to hang on the wall.

Over the course of 40 days, Dodge examines each chapter of the classic novel, citing famous scenes and illustrating the faith and love of God that shows through each example giving examples of ways to implement the lessons in daily life. She also includes a prayer that can be personalized for each day.

Having loved the novel since I was a child, I still learned new insights from the book .I had not remembered that Diana's parents had refused to allow her to attend Queen's College along with Anne but Dodge reminded me that despite that, Diana showed herself to the truest friend, cheering on Anne through all her accomplishments and never showing bitterness or resentment. These are lessons we can all learn through this wonderful book.

While it seems as if the book is geared towards tweens and teenagers, lovers of all ages can relate to the stories being told and the lessons Dodge presents. I look forward to more devotionals by Dodge in the future.

Note: I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via NetGalley and the publishers.

Rachel Dodge has captured favorite moments from Anne of Green Gables and paired them with Biblical truth. This book is amazingly appropriate for a wide range of ages. Whether you have loved Anne for years or are just getting to know her, I think you will be challenged and encouraged in your walk with God by this devotional.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

“The Anne of Green Gables Devotional” by Rachel Dodge is a delightful devotional to accompany L.M. Montgomery’s “Anne of Green Gables” novel.

Each chapter in the devotional corresponds to a chapter in the original story about an orphan girl adopted by siblings Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert. Dodge’s devotional helps draw out spiritual and biblical lessons that can be found in the childhood classic.

Filled with delightful illustrations, the devotional helps remind us that God makes no mistakes, while being a “gentle allegory for God’s redemptive, adoptive plans for each of us.”

Each chapter in this devotional companion uses Bible verses, a brief devotion related to that day’s chapter from “Anne” and a prayer to relate to that chapter’s featured examples and references. Each passage relates what Anne is experiencing to both what we and Jesus Himself may experience, such as a feeling of abandonment.

“The Anne of Green Gables Devotional” is a great additional resource for any fan of Anne, allowing the reader to see this classic in a whole new way. This book would be appropriate for older children and adults, and could also be used by families (the author has created supplemental questions appropriate for younger children, available online). And as each devotional is brief, this can be completed fairly quickly each day.

Five stars out of five.

What a blessing this title has been to my devotional time! Very highly recommended no matter how long it may have been since you've read the stories. Also, a perfect gift for anyone you know who grew up on the stories. This devotional will be one that will be reached for time and time again.

As a lover of Anne of Green Gables and everything related to Anne of Green Gables, I just had to get this devotional!!

Needless to say, I enjoyed it a lot! It was beautifully done. Not only is the cover so lovely, but the illustrations inside are as well. They’re very unique, , and so pretty! I just loved them.

I loved how the author did a devotional for each chapter of the book. She really did it so well. With each chapter’s incident, she relates it to a verse or chapter in the Bible and how we can apply that to our lives. I thought that was so neat!! There’s actually a lot you can learn from Anne of Green Gables.

I think this book would make such a lovely gift, especially for Anne of Green Gables lovers. They will be so happy if you give them this (or if you give it to yourself!)
It’s pretty much a must for any fan. It would just look soo pretty on a shelf with your Anne books.😉

This is a "Must Have" book for fans of the Anne of Green Gables book. This is a beautiful devotional that ties into Anne's story. 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.

This book was a true bosom friend, kindred spirit, and homecoming all rolled into one. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of biblical truth Dodge drew from the Anne of Green Gables story and enjoyed all her many scripture references and quotes from the source material. This devotional was 40 days long and was so well thought out and organized. It went chronologically through Anne's story with each day of the devotional shedding some biblical light on a topic referenced in that day's book's passage. And that's not even including all the extras at the end! Discussion questions, a scripture index, and even an Anne glossary divided into topics ensured you could run your own bible study or book club with ease. I really enjoyed this devotional and think Rachel Dodge did a fabulous job. I would definitely want to buy my own copy in print. 👏😊👏

Such an uplifting devotional. I love the Anne design!! I found this delightful and so relatable. The artwork is fantastic! I would love to buy a hardcover copy of this.

This book is soooo precious! If you are a fan of Anne of Green Gables, then you absolutely must get this devotional. It is priceless. Each devotion starts with a scripture, then a short passage from the beloved novel, with an application for your life today. Then a prayer and another scripture. It is just truly a wonderful devotion. I have a digital copy but I will buy the physical copy. It is so good.

I was so pleasantly surprised by this devotional!!! I quickly read through it to give a review, but I will definitely be purchasing one of these and going through it daily. I love Anne of Green Gables and I am so happy there is a devotional that incorporates biblical values into it. I love the Personal Application and Prayer for Today parts. It's so practical and very well put together. The images within the devotional are adorable too! Just 100% over all, very well done!!

I’d recommend to not only Anne of Green Gables lovers, but also those who are hoping to read it. I think it would make such a great companionable read alongside the book.
Basically, I’d recommend this to anyone! There’s really no age limit in my opinion. I think children, preteens, teens, adults, everyone can take something away from these simple messages of truth! Rachel Dodge did a great job.💚

Really enjoyed this. I used it every day and I felt like it was relatable even though it was meant to be set in Anne of Green Gables time. Simple and easy to use. I would purchase this as gifts for friends.
