LOL with God: Devotional Messages of Hope & Humor for Women

by Pam Farrel, Dawn Wilson

Feeling tired, stressed or disconnected with God? In this devotional, authors Pam Farrel and Dawn Wilson provide real-life stories mixed with a splash of humor and an encouraging word from God to help women get through hectic days. Joy from God, unlike the fleeting happiness of the world, transforms the soul and helps to heal frazzled, broken women. A cheerful heart is still good medicine (Proverbs 17:22), and women need it in megadoses! There will always be a need for humor to cheer our hearts, and when that humor is paired with powerful truth principles from Scripture, women will be revived and refreshed. To make it fun, the authors have taken Scripture verses and made them into text messages similar to those you might see on your cell phone, but these are from God’s Word.

[Monique · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is about text messaging with God by reading His Word for His message, and by praying your part of the conversation. Each chapter provides a snippet of a devotional for women to follow to help bring us closer to God. As women we're always doing multiple things at once, but when it comes to our relationship with God, we can't multi-task and communicate with Him at the same time. However, if we take small chunks out of our day away from all the distractions - cell phones, kids, work, being a mom, being a wife - we can use that time to have a conversation with God.

This is the type of book you can carry in your purse, leave in your car, at your desk, or on your nightstand. Whenever you have a few minutes you can pick it up, open it to any page, and receive some inspiration on what to talk to God about. Obviously it's not a substitution for your Bible, but it's a pretty good, pretty cute, and pretty fun companion.

This makes a great gift for your mother, sister, or even your best friend.
