The positive message in the book is really great and the habits it helps establish are, too. It’s a book I think would be helpful to anyone who is looking to bring more positivity into their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational, Encouraging, Quick Daily Uplift and Great Gift for Caregivers

The best advice I've ever been given includes run with and watch closely those whose character you admire. As I've watched Michelle Bengston (from afar) handle pain and deep trial, and maintain a Godly perspective, I've grown closer to God myself.

This book puts my pain and trials in perspective of possibilities that our Great God will turn it all into good for me and mine. It is a daily habit-forming opportunity to release my concerns to a loving character who won't necessarily remove all pain and suffering, but will apply grace and hope to a longing heart, and walk with me through every day- truly making every day a good day.

I'd encourage you to take this burden lifter into your life and learn with me and so many others that no matter what is going on Today IS going to be a Good Day.

Postscript - I've also shared copies as gifts for friends in senior homes, caregivers and those in any strenuous circumstance. One of the receivers said "It was very thoughtful especially because you undoubtedly knew that the content was so perfectly appropriate for me when it is often a struggle to wake up in expectation of a good day in this emotional and stressful time."

Wonderful Devotional and Gift Book
I just love this little devotional and gift book. Such encouragement! I’m going to keep it by my bedside where I can read it daily and carry it with me when I need something to read during wait times. Each time I get to the end, I will start over because the truths that Michelle shares here are timeless and I know I’ll get something new from them each time I read them again. I also know I’ll use the table of contents as a place to look for just that right verse for myself or to share with a friend in a time of need. What a list of God’s promises! Each day gives the reader an insight into making today a good day, the verse that inspired it, a thought-provoking question, a prayer, and a song from Michelle’s signature recommended playlist. I’ve ordered it for a few friends already and know it’s going to be the perfect gift for family, friends, and others for special occasions.

No matter what you're facing, today can be good day when you focus on God's promises. This book will turn your heart's focus from what you see in front of you to the hope that God has for you. Life can be ravished by struggles, but God's promises are not dependent on our circumstances. Dr. Michelle Bengtson's newest book lays out 90 promises that provide an anchor point for our day. It's the perfect gift for someone who needs a lifeline straight to God's heart, but has so much going on that the thought of a large chunk of reading is overwhelming. I highly recommend this book for anyone who needs the reminder that today is going to be a good day.

Are you having a hard time seeing today as a good day? I know I have struggled with that a lot of times. Well, I have just finished reading a new devotional by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, Award Winning Author of Hope Prevails, Hope Prevails Bible Study and Breaking Anxiety’s Grip. She has written this devotional from the depths of her own need to focus on each day as a good day as she struggled with some major health issues. She has truly hit the mark with her new book. As she shares 90 Promises of God, she tells us why today is a good day because of these promises. Her insights and heart felt appreciation for our Lord’s promises will encourage you greatly as you struggle through your storms and trials which we all encounter along our life journey. We have had some health issues these past few years and oh did I need her messages to help me focus on the Lord, my source of help and healing. I pray that you will also be blessed and so very encouraged as you read her messages, the scriptures, her thought provoking questions and her prayer for you. AND as a special gift she also shares a song that will bring our hearts closer even more to the Lord. Thank you, Dr. Michelle for this gift of love.

I have just finished reading Today is Going to Be A Good Day, 90 promises from God to start your day off right, by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, board certified neuropsychologist and award winning author of Hope Prevails and Breaking Anxiety's Grip. This devotional is so full of encouragement and inspiration. If you're going through a tough time, or if things are going great in your life, this book is exactly what you need for your morning quiet time with the Lord. Dr. Michelle writes a Scripture each day along with a short devotional that reminds us that no matter what we're going through, as long as we are keeping Christ in the center of our lives, every day is a good day because He is always with us and He loves us with an everlasting, unconditional love. Dr. Michelle also includes a prayer and a recommended worship song for each day that goes with the Scripture and the daily devotion. I have had the privilege of reading Dr. Michelle's other award winning books, and I'm sure this one will receive just as many awards. I highly recommend this 90 day devotional to everyone. I know one thing for sure, I will not be tucking this book on a shelf, I will keep it out and read it over and over again. Thanks Dr. Michelle, for such an amazing reminder that with Christ, every day is a good day!

Start every day with a positive mindset
I love this book! It has 90 days of devotionals all focused on standing on God's promises so that every day can be a good day. I know that starting my day every day with a devotional that includes something to reflect on, scripture, prayer and music will help me create habits so that I can continue to stand on God's promises every day after that. Actually, I'm sure I'll read it again and again.

I received this book yesterday and have already read through about half of the book. The book is for 90 days but I found myself just loving the short but encouraging messages that I just kept reading. The author has been there on the hard days looking for the promises of God to remind her that each day can be a good day no matter what we are struggling with. The book itself is perfect in my opinion. It is a perfect on the go size which I love. It's a great book to have around the house, in the office and in even in the car while you're waiting in the school pick up line. I think this book is one that everyone can be blessed by because we all can relate to struggles here on earth. My favorite quote so far in the book is on Day 9, "Sometimes the most powerful prayer we can pray is simply, "Jesus, help me." He doesn't need impressive words or fancy vocabulary but, rather, straightforward honesty from our hearts."

Today is going to be a good day is a 90 day prescription written by Dr Michelle Bengtson, a neuropsychologist and a child of God. This devotional gives us her simple but profound way of how she coped (and copes) through her own painful health issues. Each day she gives a pearly promise of God, followed by a thoughtful question, a prayer to the Father, and best of all, a musical list of songs pertaining to that day’s scripture. Written not just for the 90 days, but a book you will return to time and time again. A book you will treasure for life.

This book is just what the Dr ordered (pun intended). It will lift you up when you are down. Turn your frown into a smile and bring joy to your lips. The devotions are short (less than five minutes) and include a prayer as well as a suggested song to listen to which goes along with the devotion. It is the perfect little gift to stick into your bag when you are going to be traveling for a hostess gift, a gift for a friend who is feeling low and perhaps even to take to someone in the hospital. This is an all around winner!

Beautiful and hearfelt devotional encouraging the reader to know that even when times are tough, we can make each day a good one. Through faith in God, every challenge can be met with hope. This book is great to give as a gift, too. I received a complimentary copy of the book. No review was required.

Just wanted to say I read day one last night. Great wisdom and love that she gives a song for us to listen to also. Can’t wait to read day two tonight.
