Using this heartfelt, insightful guide, readers can begin the lifetime habit of devotion, even when time is at a premium.

It took me over a year to get through these daily devotionals.
About halfway, my husband joined me. Especially on challenging days, they gave us just enough fuel to reset or minds and hearts.
It was helpful and enjoyed. I especially like the references to Eugene Petersons work.

I’ve been reading this devotional since February. I intended to finish by mid-April to give it to a visiting friend...but then travel was banned and I lost my mojo. That doesn’t take away from this devotional at all because I actually really enjoyed the format and how she encourages one to jot down notes so you empty your mind. I didn’t write in the actual book but it forced me to consider the things weighing on my mind. I’m now glad to have finished and rated it 4⭐️

(Devotional - Motherhood) Well, I need a lot more time than 10 minutes a week of quiet time where I can pray and journal to get through life, so I don't condone the 10 minutes a week thing. I did enjoy this devotional though. I read it when I was a very new mama on maternity leave and it helped me see past the crazy newborn stage and envision life and motherhood as my baby grows.

I couldn't get into this devotional. It was really chatty and definitely made to be read weekly - no real continuity or actual Bible study.
