Devoted

I read this in one day since I had a lazy saturday. I liked this book. It was fun and witty. I loved the little quote illustrations. It had a very young adult/teen vibe to it. I'm 21 and I enjoyed it so it might lean towards older ages as well.

There's not much that I can say about this book except that I loved the Personal (or group questions). It made me feel connected with the author in a way and not much christian writers do that.

I'll definitely be reading this book over and over again!

This is a great devotion book for teen and teen girls! Gives girls real world situations and Bible verses to help with real solutions.

This was a delightful book! I love Marjorie's friendly style of writing. These lessons are applicable for women of all ages.

A great book for young Christian girls that helps them discover their value, God, and how their faith can apply to everyday situations. While it features great advice, it also has challenges to keep the girls focused on developing their faith at a good pace and with solid guidance that is aimed well and truly at them. The way the author has written it will connect well with teenage girls who wish to continue to seek a relationship with God. I will be recommending this book to the teenage girls in my church youth group as I feel this works at a pace they will be able to keep up with as well as give me an easy way of continuing my lessons outside of the church.

I was really impressed with Devoted: A Girl’s 31-Day Guide to Good Living with a Good God by Marjorie Jackson. I love the idea of a devotional but often find them to be lacking in substance. You get one scripture and little to no spiritual wisdom or insight from them. Now, I’m not saying that devotionals should take you out of the word of God or that one should rely on others to dig into the word for them. But, young women, especially, sometimes they need guidance, focus and motivation to really get into the word of God.

Now, I need to explain why I was looking for a guide for young women when I’m a married adult with children. There is your answer—my girls. I have two teenage girls, 16 and 14. Every Christmas I do their Christmas gifts—want, wear, read and need. For their bookish gift, I usually try to get them something educational/inspirational in addition to their want-to-reads. When I saw Devoted, it piqued my interest but I feared this would be a typical devotional and lacking in true godly wisdom.

So, I requested this book from Netgalley and I was impressed. This young lady has wisdom beyond her years and though I would have preferred that the scripture be taken from the KJV, all scriptures are referenced so one can simply open up their own Bible of choice and follow along.

One unique quality to this devotional is that a daily challenge is given to encourage young ladies to get into the word of God and to build their own relationship with God. Plus, the fun coloring pages while instilling Biblical truths in their hearts.

This book covers topics such as the importance of reading your Bible, purity, dressing modestly, praying for your friends and praying for your future spouse.

An excellent read for Christian young ladies who are looking to grow in their spiritual walk with Christ.

A complimentary copy of this book was provided by Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review, and have not been compensated for this. All opinions are my own.

Enjoyable and interesting introduction to Christianity aimed at the teenage and young adult female.
This book could be useful as a first read for new believers.
I especially like the illustrations which are the Bible verses for the day and can be coloured in as a reminder of the verse.
I was given this book by Netgalley and the publisher. This is my voluntary review.
