This would be a great devotional for teens. I have added it to my nieces book collection. This book can help teens get closer to God in a way that is not overwhelming.

4.5 stars, personally.

I loved that this teen girl—though it could be for older girls as well!—devotional is based on the topic of the journey of your walk with the Lord. Not boys, not friendship drama, not school related things, but the most important thing. Your faith in God and being connected to Him. There’s plenty of other devotionals that focus on those other topics—and I’ve reviewed quite a few of them—so this one was incredibly refreshing. I wish I would have had this devotional when I was in high school, but there were a lot of good parts that stood out to me, even though I’m in my 20s. A lot of my very favorite Scriptures were also used in this devotional, which I loved seeing! This is easily one of my favorite devotionals now and one I’m sure I’ll be recommending often.

"Journey of a Lifetime" by Taylor Bennett is a great book. It's a good devotional for those new in their relationship with Jesus or those who have been serving God all their life. This is a 90 day devotional and each day begins with a few verses your should read and then goes on to a small writing of how that verse pertains to our journey with God. This book explains that our adventure with God is the most important journey we will ever take but thankfully God had given us a map in the for of His Word. The Bible is the perfect roadmap for us and at the end of our journey we will end up at our destination which is a close relationship with God and literally in the arms of our Father. I highly recommend this book.

Also, I usually don't mention the cover's of books in my review but I think the cover of this book is very pretty.

Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to read this book for free in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Journey of a Lifetime Discovering the Unique Adventure God Has for You by Taylor Bennett is an intriguing devotional journal full of inspiration that will help grow your relationship with the Lord and set out on an adventure of faith, love, and bravery.

Interesting and well written, but very much another repetition of all the messages that Christian kids grow up hearing in Christian media since childhood. It's a book that a Christian teen can read and assume they understand it all and apply it to themselves however they wish, which also means that it's pretty vague and not practical in any specific way. It's cute, it's comfy, but doesn't provide any new insights or concrete direction for how to embark on this "journey of a lifetime" as it is advertised to do.

What a beautiful book! Filled with truth and Faith, this book will not only transport you to magical places, but it will encourage and lift your heart in your walk with Jesus while it shows you glimpses of the wonders God made just for YOU! Highly recommed it :)

I’ve been following Taylor Bennett on Instagram for a few years now and she is such a kind soul who always inspires me with her posts! I absolutely love her YA book series so when I found out she was releasing a devotional for teens, I couldn’t wait to read it!
This devotional is absolutely perfect for tween and teen girls. Not only is the cover beautiful, but the inside is too! ❤️
I love how she starts every devotional with Bible verses to read that sets the tone for the devotional. I also love how at the end of each devotional, she prompts you to put your faith in action by applying it to your life in some way whether that’s by a journal prompt, writing Bibles verses on note cards to remember, or trying a challenge. The devotionals are relatable and always have a good message.
She keeps the devotional short but beautifully put. Every day gives you something to think about. I think it would be a great start to any teen girl’s morning along with Bible reading! I loved it!
