Recently, my daughter was looking through the local bookstore for a book of devotions and few seemed to address living joyfully right where God has you. In our world, it is so easy to be negative and dwell on all that is wrong in our lives and the lives of those we love. True joy and contentment can only be found in God and He truly desires you have that joy, not only for your benefit but for the benefit of those around you.
This new hardback volume of devotions by Victoria York is exactly what my daughter was looking for, I believe. You will find topics such as God is in control, believing God will fulfill His promises, God hears our prayers, and dealing with feeling overwhelmed. Each day has a very brief scripture that sets the stage for the devotion and concludes with a promise/brief prayer to carry with you throughout the day. No devotion is longer than one page so there are no excuses that you simply don't have enough time.
I love the fact that it is a hardback volume and especially that it has a built in ribbon bookmark to mark the page where you are. I even like that it is a cheery yellow cover to help brighten each day. I can't wait to give it to my daughter and watch how God's word continues to transform her life.
I did receive this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review and am in no way obligated to write a positive one. I honestly feel that this is an excellent book of devotionals, perfect for gift giving or perhaps one that you want to pick up to begin the new year.
