Love!

I love this devotional! I first discovered Ruth when I bought “Pressing Pause” another devotional she co-wrote. I loved it so much that I started looking for any other books she had. Happily, I found several! I bought them all, even the prayer journal. :)
Wonderful devotions. Perfect for everyday. I love the prayer and questions at the end of each chapter. I have 4 children and identified with so many of the authors stories. Highly recommend for any mom!

Best mom devotional ever.

I was looking for a devotion on mental health one night and came across this one. I had not found anything close to what I needed. While this one is not on mental health this devotional is on being a better mom while is something I struggle with especially with mental health issues. This devotional gives you a daily topic. Versus. Relatable read. Followed my 2 questions to get you thinking and a prayer. I will be redoing this one many many times. Definitely worth the 16$

Good devotional for ALL moms

I received this book yesterday. I've read the first few pages of this devotional, and I am loving the context. However, I was kind of disappointed in the condition of the book.
