beloved is a wonderful devotional book for young or older women. Each day includes a scripture and devotion that references a biblical girl or woman. The devotional and scripture helps encourage and inspire by relating to topics that may be affecting you, as a young women, in today's society. Included is journaling space at the bottom and a book mark. I love the size of the book, which is just the right size to fit in purse or bag. Also the days are set up by day of the year, such Day 126, etc. So you can start this devotional at anytime of the year. Would make a great gift for a young lady for graduation, birthday or any other special day. I highly recommend.

Even though I am not a Mom to children of my own, I feel as though I am a mom to many pets and children of friends and family. Well with that in mind I decided to give this book a read. I am glad I did! There are so many "me too's" and things that resinate with me just being a woman. The author did a great job relating to every women that has to deal with children, husband and/or family . She offered some really good advice and stories on everything from anger and anxiety to friends. Each chapter was a different subject so I used it as a devotional reading for 19 days which provided lots of helpful tips and encouragement. I would recommend this book.

I have to admit that I am not a big fan of reading about finances or money issues. But I thought I would give Emily's book a try since some things have changed for me financially in the last few years. I was glad that I read Faithful Finance and learned about the 10 secrets to move from frearful insecurity to confident control. If you have taken the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace courses in the past then you will appreciate this read as a nice review and a few new great ideas to incorporate into your finances. She breaks down each chapter in to simple terms and explains the terms and easy to understand wording. The print is in a form that is easy to read and the reading is not too weighty so you don't seem to bog down in the terms. She shares many stories so you can picture how it works. 

I would recommend this book for someone just starting out to someone getting ready for retirement. It doesn't go into great detail but enough to help you understand and get started. Plus there is some very helpful resources.

I am not a parent but I am sure parents of adult children have asked "How can we pray God's best for our children after they leave our homes and grow up, have their own families, etc?" You never stop being a parent, I have been told by many friends and by my own parents. I understand how tough it must be to have to let your children make their own decisions. In this book by Jodie Berndt she focuses on a different stage of adulthood in each of the chapters with insight and encouraging stories from parents.

 

I got a lot of insight from the "Prayer Principles" through out the book and I loved the section at the end of each chapter that gave specific prayers for you and then for your children. You can just fill in the blanks with their names and pray the prayer. So many times we don't know what to pray and this gives really great prayers to help.

 

I recommend this to anyone who had adult children, in any stage of adulthood or any age and/or anyone who wants to help those with adult children.

NIRV May the Faith Be With You Holy bible

This is a very nice children’s Bible. It includes 24 full color pages with some of the most important ideas of the Bible such as What Jesus Says About…, Ten Commandments and Miracles of Jesus. Size is just right for smaller hands and ages 6-10. Easy to read version. I think it would have been nice to see an introduction at the beginning of each chapter and the full color pages closer to the text they are referencing. But overall a pretty nice small bible for kids.

In The Middle of the Mess by Sheila Walsh

This book is not uplifting as I had expected but is an attempt for the author to share her story during one of the most difficult times. And to demonstrate how she made it through. The first part was very depressing and it was hard for me to stick with the book due to this. It got better as I read more but I felt weighted by the story.

I did enjoy the “reflections” at the end of each chapter which were very thought provoking and some applied to my personal life.

If you recently went through the death of a loved one or major crisis I would not recommend this book.
