I was given a copy of Too Blessed to Be Stressec through the publisher and their partnership with Netgalley in exchange for my honest review which is as follows:

To Blessed to Be Stressed…Inspiration for Everyday is a wonderful addition to your personal Bible Study. Each devotion is a wonderful way to either start or end your day back.

We leave in a stressful time but the Devotions in this book encourage us to look at our blessings instead of letting ourselves stress ourselves to the point of being sick.

We are encouraged to turn worry and prayer.

I give Too Blessed to Be Stressed five out of five stars.

I laughed when I read Ms. Coty's forward about being a "potty" author. I have my read while waiting for my coffee to brew. Each entry is a short thought provoking gem. Some have bible verse references. I look forward to her thoughts each morning. Perfect gift for any age woman in your family or friendship circle.

This book takes you on a journey to realize what you have been given in this life. Highly recommended for your collection, your personal library and gifts for friends.

I thought that maybe I had to request Too Blessed to be stressed....Inspiration for Every Day 365 Devotions for Women by Debora M.

Too Blessed To Be Stressed. . .Inspiration for Every Day: 365 Devotions for Women by Debora M. Coty is a sweet little devotional book. The devotionals are short, to the point, and easy to digest. This book is perfect for women on the go, fitting easily into a purse or computer bag, and makes a thoughtful gift as well.

Each devotion features the date, a title, Bible verse of inspiration, a short story, and prayer/thought to apply to our lives on that set date. There's a ribbon bookmark bound into the book to keep ones place until the next reading. The back of the book features a scripture index that list scripture used in the devotional alphabetically by each book found in the Bible. I like that the book isn't too big. It fits nicely on my bedside table but also would be a good fit for a bathroom shelf, office desk, or in a living room dedicated space for books to be intended to read daily.

Too Blessed To Be Stressed. . . Inspiration for Every Day, has lived up to its title and provided me with a little inspiration to start my day off spiritually. The readings are small and easy to commit to with a very busy schedule. The author, Debora Coty, provides real life situations that the readers could learn from and relate to on many levels. She is able to add scripture to back up each devotional and provide spiritual motivation, as well as, a little chuckle to start my day. .

Fantastic daily devotional for women! It is written so that the reader has one page to read a day. The short format, along with the witty remarks make this a devotional that you will want to keep up with. The format is a short verse to start, followed by a pithy vignette, and closed with a parting thought/prayer. Overall, a uplifting read.

Debora Coty writes To Blessed to Be Stressed, a 365-day devotional, as if she were sitting down talking to God, and talking to you. Each devotion is short, sweet and to the point. They each start with a Bible verse and end with a prayer.

I thoroughly enjoyed this different and unique devotional. Miss Coty’s humor and style of writing is refreshing and delightful, full of pithy, succinct and witty observations; she can get a profound truth across in few words. She draws stories from her life and those of her friends, in addition to life lessons she has experienced and leaves you with many thought-provoking moments.

Some of her devotions will have you rolling on the floor laughing, while others will leave you in tears; however, as the tale concludes, the lesson is heard and felt on a deep level.

Miss Coty is not afraid to tackle difficult – even “off-limits” -topics. For example, she discusses gravity’s results for women, colonoscopies and her book being a “potty” book, as in being read in the bathroom. Even so, these are only small parts of the book. The other more serious topics far outweigh those of a less serious nature.

Too Blessed to Be Stressed is a book you will want to read, savor and re-read, gleaning jewels of wisdom, truth, and renewal of faith as it brings you closer in your relationship with God.

Thousands of women have had the pleasure of reading the wit- and near-wisdom-filled books from beloved inspirational humorist, Debora M. Coty. Her Too Blessed to be Stressed has become a perennial favorite, selling upwards of 46,000 copies since its 2011 release. Now, ready to rescue you from the joy-sucking dully-funks, is an all-new 365-day devotional featuring just-right-sized, truth-filled readings (gift-wrapped in humor) for your heart. The Too Blessed to be Stressed daily devotional touches on everyday life topics like relationships, love, boundaries, hope, brokenness, and praise, while helping you to arrive at healing, refreshment, and revitalization of spirit, body, and faith.

I'm a devotional buff!! Seriously, on my bedside table, I've been using for 3 years Jesus Calling and it's so worn that the pages are falling out. I have to get another one. The thing I like about devotions every day is that you have a task that you have to complete daily. Scripture, devotion, and prayer to go along with it....So what didn't I like? I didn't like that all through the book she uses Papa God...I have a best friend who uses that and it's endearing but at the same time I'm old school and use Father God. For people that it doesn't bother, it won't be a big deal. For me, it just chipped at my nerves a little and then I had to do the "too blessed to be stressed!!"

Overall, this is a funny, informative, relaxing, devotional that I think women will enjoy. I would definitely buy it for my friends and family because I know that they would enjoy it and take something away from it.

Review:

I really loved this devotional, it was full of humor, good advice and plenty of thought-provoking material. She takes inspiration from her life, her family and friends and relays that inspiration to the reader. This devotional covers a wide array of topics, from hopelessness to hope, love and family loyalties, and the beauty of the world. She is a very good story-teller and she finds humor in almost all situations.

The book has a short scripture, a story somehow related to the scripture and then a thought or prayer. All of the daily reading have a title that is also somehow related to the reading, and most of them are very clever.

I would recommend this book to any woman who wants a little spiritual pick-me-up each day. The messages are very important and it is told in a way that the reader can relate to. I am going to look for other books from this author, she is a humorous
inspirational writer.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a honest review. I would like to thank NetGalley and Barbour Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this book.
