Life as a Prayer was a good devotional. I liked how it was easy to read and yet also thought-provoking at times. I liked how each devotional had an "intention" (which was basically a short "I will apply this today this way" and a prayer at the end of the chapter. It was a great way to sum up everything from the devotional.

All in all, a good read and I can see myself rereading it in the future.

I am voluntarily reviewing a copy of Life As A Prayer through the publisher and Netgalley:

We are reminded in this book life is prayer, all of life.

Every instance can be an invitation to experience God at a deeper level.

Your life should become your prayer. We are reminded that our life can be a testament to our Faith, to God's love.

Our life can become a prayer for Healing and Hope.

Life As A Prayer would be a great addition to your Christian Library.

I give it five out of five stars.

Happy Reading.

This book was an invitation to me. It came to me in a time of tremendous loss and pain. It has helped me refocus my thoughts and I feel like it has strengthened my ability to connect with God.

This is a book that I will also buy in paper copy and give as gifts to family and friends who I know are also struggling to find peace in their lives.

Thank you Hope, for helping me to refocus on what's important to me and how to accomplish it.

Life as a Prayer is a wonderful devotional for every day. The devotions are grouped into eight different groups: Awareness, Healing and Hope, Courage, Connection and Compassion, Joy and Creativity, Faith, Sanctuary and finally purpose. Each devotion contains a short inspirational text, a few questions to think about during the day and a short prayer.

I really liked this book. One or two devotions can easily be integrated into each day. The prayers were beautiful and really spoke to my heart. The devotions were always relatable and cover different topics like hospitality, regret and how to enjoy each day as a gift from God. I would recommend it to any woman that likes devotionals. I think it would also be a great gift for a friend or family member.

This book is an amazing devotional and I thoroughly enjoyed taking time away from each day to focus on the messages and try to apply the principles.

The devotions are grouped into eight different groups that are very relevant to us all. Some that had a large impact on me were- Awareness, Healing and Hope, and Courage. The others were also amazing.

Each devotion contains inspirational text, a few questions and a short prayer. I found the questions great to think about during the day. I am even planning to re-read this devotional and journal some of my answers to the questions and changes that I have been able to make in my life.
