I'm actually blown away by how beautiful this devotional is! The design of the cover and on the actual pages is gorgeous. This is an "open and go" kind of devotional, the prayers are short and sweet, perfect for people who are beginning they're walk with God! The messages are so well thought thru and help us to connect more with God. I'm really really impressed with this devotional! There are no dates, so you can start whenever you want. I would love to get the physical copy, this will go on my birthday wishlist (I right now have the ebook version). I would definitely encourage you to get the physical copy because it's definitely worth it! Thank you Barbour Publishing via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own!
I'm not even sure what to say, because this book impacted my life so, so much.
It's as if each page was written straight for me. Like Jessie Fioritto knew me and had sat with me over coffee discussing my life, and encouraging me how to overcome.
I'm sitting here in awe and just so grateful God laid all this on her heart to write. I believe it will touch each woman that reads this with an open heart and a mind that is hungry for the Word of God to overcome her struggles.
When I'm so touched by a book, I fumble around for words because I feel so grateful and blessed to have read something that is impacting my life on such a high level. I will be re-reading this book several times. I will be soaking in the words that touched my heart so much. Each story, each example gave me ideas and gumption to change my life and do things better. Each scripture and story helped me understand the deep love of God and how to overcome struggles in my every day life.
I believe every woman out there who is searching after the heart of God will be encouraged by this book and should purchase it for herself and a friend. It's totally worth it. And beyond that, it's pretty!!! So artistic.
You Belong is a devotional and prayer book for women of faith by author Jessie Fioritto.
You Belong uses Scripture verses from different translations. If the reader wonders whether they are too flawed for Jesus to use them they will find encouragement within these pages. You Belong has fitting devotions, Scripture verses, and prayers.
My favorite devotional in You Belong is the one on reclaimed. The scripture for this devotion is II Corinthians 5:17-19. I love the fact that Jesus has reclaimed me.
I recommend You Belong to women who wonder if they belong, or if anyone cares. Jesus cares and You Belong.

Kudos to Jessie Fioritto on writing one of the best devotionals I have ever read!
Reading this book was calming, joyous and uplifting. Each devotion begins with an encouraging Scripture that reinforces how much God loves us and cares for us individually. A short, heartwarming and intimate paragraph follows, and the devotion ends with a prayer of gratitude and thanksgiving.
What a gift you have given us in this book, Ms. Fioritto! I am so glad your heart listened to the voice of God that led you to write it. I have no doubt that the impact of this book on the lives of women everywhere will be far greater than you can imagine!
My sincere gratitude to NetGalley and Barbour Books for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review. All opinions expressed here are my own.
In a frenetic culture that screams “you matter” and “you are enough,” the reasons to support these powerful truths are often shallow, skewed and self-centered. I matter and have value because God created me, just as I am. You Belong is a refreshingly honest reminder to find my roots, my value and my truths in God alone. Each entry was a balm to my battered, torn heart. They are relatively short and can be quickly ingested or savored and contemplated. I highly recommend you grab your Bible and your journal as you work through each beautiful entry. I received a complimentary advanced reader copy and all opinions and views expressed are solely my own.
This book is geared towards Christian readers but you do not have to be Christian to take in its messages of how to live life, ways to cope and acceptance. There are short entries with something to think about in each. If you would like to start or end your day thinking about the big issues (often manifested in small ways), this may be a title for you.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.
You Belong is a wonderful devotional book to to read. I truly enjoyed reading this devotional. Its wonderful written. I read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are of my own. Thank you NetGalley and Barbour Publishing for letting me read this story.
Very encouraging reading to last through daily readings. Excellent for a daily boost of cheer! Encouraging daily writings! Not a novel, so I'm not sure what else I can say about it.
I received this book as an Advanced Reader from the publisher and the author. I read a review that said, "It's like sitting down to coffee with a friend and having her speak encouragement into your heart", and that's exactly how I feel. Short, daily devotionals for perfect for women that need a reminder of who God created them to be.
