"God knows that no diamond, not even of the best and biggest kind, can equal the value of grace I have received from His Word through the realities of life. Truly, His wisdom is more precious than jewels, far better than all of my earthly riches combined."
This weekly devotional held my hand comfortably and encouragingly through its Biblical prompts, conversations, and wisdom. Each chapter has focus verses, reflection, application, and prayer which help the Bible come alive in a fresh way. I also like that I'm able to write in full-page spaces which feel like I'm co-writing the lessons I am to remember and apply in my life.
This could be better if more applications assigned concrete measures for accountability that readers can accomplish with trusted women. Some parts are also too relevant for mothers that other kinds of people might not necessarily find as beneficial. There are also some chapters that missed to have the full-page spaces for note-taking.
Overall, I rate it 5 stars because it blessed me like a mature fellow follower of Jesus would if they mentored me themselves. I recommend this, especially for women, who would like to grow deeper and farther in their walk with Jesus. This can be a great first devotional for those who newly intently followed Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.
