Bethany House Partner Review: Trusting God in All the Things by Karen Ehman and Ruth Schwenk (90 Devotions)

 

90 Devotions for Finding Peace in Your Every Day Life is the subtitle of the book.   

The book description reminds us: When Life is Filled with All the Things,

Begin Your Days with the Most Important Thing of All


This devotional in physical book form, is interactive, write and respond, hardback book with gold accents on the navy/chalk white pages to appeal to women.  Each of the devotions has a title, and the book begins with a table of contents of all the engaging titles.  The authors took turns writing the devotions based on one or two simple verses to study for the day, then the author shares a personal connection, and helps the reader think aloud, reflect and apply possible responses to this biblical truth.  The author also helps focus the reader on the achievable and beneficial application of the thoughts.  

It's not a devotional for someone who is looking to be drawn into a deep scriptural study, think about greek or Hebrew words, or have a passage or other connected references to consider how God is present.  It's meant to be a simple, mindset, life-giving focus on God's presence in the seasons of life when it's easy to lose that focus. 

I find this book very appropriate for a woman who needs the peace and calm brought to her to focus her day and ultimately mind on who God is in her life moment by moment.   It's a book for those seasons, days, and points in life where being able to have a wise older woman share her life story and thinking will help refocus your spirit.  This book also can help you know you are not alone, you are loved, seen, and you can let God be your calm and peace in all the things, at all the times.  

Thankful to partner with the publisher and review a copy.
