What a Great Word Devotionals by Karen Moore
What a Great Word Devotionals
by Karen Moore
I love all of these and highly recommend them. I gave the year devotional to my son's girlfriend for Christmas and she really loved it. I enjoy Karen Moore's writing. The devotionals are similar in layout. They have a topic word at the top, then a bible verse that is on point discussing that word. Then, she has her commentary followed by a prayer at the end. Each devotion is 1 to 3 pages long. Lots of great insight. I really like the two that have targeted specific topics aimed at grads or moms. They are right on point. I really loved these books and encourage you will buy them. Doing a daily devotional is such a great way to stay in God's Word. Yet, it is in smaller chunks and makes it do-able for those of us with extremely busy lives. These would make perfect graduation, Mother's day, birthday or Christmas gifts.

Dear GrandChild This Is Me book review
Preserving a legacy can feel like a daunting task. There are many things one would like to pass on to a grandchild. This book just makes it easy to do so. As I looked at this book I actually even thought this would be great for a child. I had a very good friend that died way too early from breast cancer and her daughter was only 8 or 9 years old at the time. There was so much wisdom, stories and advice that she would have wanted to share with her daughter as she went through various stages of her life. I hope that the authors tailor the book for a parent to share with a child also. At the point my friend knew she wasn't going to make it, she was not in a position to figure out what to share but having a book like this that provided a framework to start from would have been great. The only negative with this book is that often times, hopefully, we would have more that one grandchild. So do you create several of these books to pass along? Or do one for the family to share? Still I think it is a fantastic keepsake that one could pass along to future generations. Really loved the format! Great idea. I think I am going to start mine now. I have no grandchildren but when hopefully they come along I will have something to share. Plus, if for some reason I am not here when they arrive, this will be a nice way to share some of me with them.
I received this book from WaterBrook & Mulnomah in exchanged for a honest review.
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, ......... when we say the Lord's Prayer often times it is just rote, repeating or following along with what is being said in church. BUT do we really think about what we are praying. Words mean something and words are powerful. It is by His word the world was created. Now those were powerful words! So what do the words of the prayer mean? What meaning do the phrases have in my life, your life? This book explores that and gets us to really think about the words we are praying as we pray them. Additionally, the book offers us time to reflect. To think about what God is about, where is He leading you, what can you do more of and maybe somethings less of. Where have we stepped on toes and need to apologize. Throughout the book, the authors have put in images and short prayers. That was a wonderful time to pray and reflect. This would be a great book for a group bible study. It's not overly long and could be easily completed in a few sessions.
