Blessed Is She

In this amazing book compiled by Ms. Victoria, 30 women of color talk about some of the trials they've experienced being women of color, mother's, and sometimes wives. This was such an inspirational book and well written book.

Blessed is she is a powerful testimonial style book based upon the prayer journies of thirty African American women. Reading this book I laughed, smiled, and cried as I identified myself in pages. It's great to know that what you're going through someone else has been through, and is willing to share their story with you. Be encouraged as you discover a deeper connection with your heavenly Father, and see how Jesus was there with you, praying for you all along.

This book is a journey though the prayer lives of 30 African American women. The book chronicles these women’s experience with prayer. The book contains valuable insights including the forewords written by 2 phenomenal Christian authors, Dr. Suzan Johnson Cook and Patricia Raybon. The book is divided into sections entitled: Blessed with a Divine Prayer Team, Blessed in our Struggles, Blessed to Join Intercession, Blessed after Amen. Each section contains narratives from women across the United States who share prayer experiences along with scriptural references for the reader.

While reading the book, I had to put it down to meditate on various passages. The author encourages the reader to explore the book at your own pace. That is great advice, it is a book that should be read and studied slowly in order to absorb all of the goodness contained within the pages. I can easily see this book being used for Women’s Ministry groups, Sunday School classes or Intercessory teams.

Very good book with ancedotes to share about the way the Lord shows up in people's lives. I very much enjoyed it. I would recommend something like this to a friend.

Blessed is She is full of women recounting their experiences with God. The times when they were called to listen to God and reflect then do. The experiences aren't the same and may not be "overt". These stories are to remind us to just be quiet with God and let a feeling, thoughts, or even other people send us a message. The point is our receptiveness. We can be anxious or stressed but over time we can develop a prayer practice. The book can be used as a guide reminding us to listen and reflect on what God might be telling us.

Blessed is She may be my new favorite devotional. Victoria McAfee has complied book that is brilliant, wise, authentic and practical .

The book is full of encouragement. The stories will empower you, strengthen you, and inspire you. The women here have different stories but each one points us back to the God who hears us. You will not be disappointed by this powerful book, jam packed with truth . I learned So much from the raw, authentic stories shared here.

The publisher made this book available for review on netgalley. The opinions in this review are honest and my own.

Blessed Is She by Victoria McAfee is a wonderfully spiritual novel that is both instructional and inspiring. The book is honest and open regarding faith and how to maintain a strong relationship with the Lord. There are many cases of block women who have had their faith tested or enriched by life episodes. This book is very easy to read a few pages at a time. I will be putting Blessed Is She with my other religious books. I’m sure that it is one that I will read many times!

No matter where you are in life you're bound to find a connection with one or several of the 30 women who were generous enough to share their stories and the impact of prayer in their lives. Very few book insight laughter, anger and tears as this one does. Overall I was inspired by their tenacity and even more proud to be a woman of color.

Thank you for allowing me to read this book it truly touched my life. I felt the stores were raw and genuine. I could see myself in many of the stories. I loved the reflections.

This truly blessed me and I grew in my walk closer to Christ through reading this book! I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to strengthen their relationship and build their faith.

Blessed Is She is a book about divine prayers, and the women who prayed them. This is a book about miracles and relationships, and about the power of God in the lives of every day believers. I really enjoyed it, though I wish that there had been more reflection questions and prayer suggestions. Overall, worth a read.

4/5 stars

A lovely meditative read that encourages me still to deepen my spiritual journey especially now when we are socially in a pause mode. I look forward to returning to this again and again and I will suggest this to others in my circle.

I appreciated the fact that this is from the perspective of Black women. It is very timely, moving, inspiring and relatable.

An absolute joy to read. So encouraging and uplifting, especially in the times we are living. Highly recommend.
