The One Year Mini for Busy Women

by Jennifer Lyn King

You're a busy woman on the go. From the competing demands of work to the whining voices of kids in the back seat, your days are crammed full of stuff to do. It's in the in-between times (waiting for the kids at a soccer match, on the commute home, during a lunch break at work) that you have time to center your thoughts back on the simple joys in life--the beauty of flowers in bloom, the exuberance of young toddlers at play, the excitement of kids coming home from school. The One Year Mini for Busy Women is there for you when you need a lift of inspiration.

This wonderful little book is filled with 365 inspirational passages and mini life lessons that are a balm to the spirit. From joy to sorrow, and from dreams captured to heartbreaking disappointments, each page urges us to open up and see with our hearts as well as our eyes.

A lovely book that would make a great gift to a friend.

I picked this book up on a whim, looking for some type of daily devotional. I wanted something short and to the point, with scripture references, related modern explanations or examples, and questions or statements to guide thinking and self-reflection. But I don't have time for anything too intense on a daily basis. The title seemed fitting, so I flipped to that particular day and it was actually quite perfect. I bought it on the spot.

Since then, I have read each day's page consistently and thoroughly enjoyed it. Each page provides a verse, expounds upon it in a way that modern, busy women can readily relate to, and concludes with a suggestion or thought for the day. There's even a built-in ribbon bookmark so you can quickly flip to today's date.

I actually read each day twice, morning and night, because it's that encouraging and only takes a few minutes. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a more regular routine in their devotional life but finds it hard to know what to study and to find the time.

A good, short entry daily devotional particularly geared for women.
