Book Review - Blessing for the Morning

* I received a copy of this devotional book from Bethany House Publishing to review.


Excerpt from Amazon:





A Blessing a Day from Popular Author and Radio Host
This beautiful devotional gift book is for readers who want to start their day with a reminder of God's love and purpose for them. So often we wake up worried about our to-do lists and responsibilities and need a reminder of how God feels about us and who we are in him. Several years ago Susie began posting daily blessings on Facebook, and since then thousands have responded and forwarded the blessings along to others.

The blessings take only moments to read, but are packed with biblical promise and perspective. Along with a blessing, each day's spread also includes a related Scripture to point readers back to God's timeless truth.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My thoughts:  This is a wonderful and inspirational book.  The Author, Susie Larson includes a Scripture with each entry along with uplifting and encouraging thoughts on different topics.  For example:  Humility and Tenacity, Fresh Favor and Perspective, The New You.  With each one she encourages you to rely on God and His love for you to see you through whatever challenges you may be facing in life.  It gives you a fresh perspective on things and challenges you to look at life differently.  My favorite feature is that each page is also filled with gorgeous photos that remind me of God's love and His beautiful creation.

The entries are short so it doesn't take a long time to read them and yet they are profound enough to carry you through the day.

I have enjoyed reading through this inspirational book very much.

  7. Being dyslexic, I am not one to sit down with books very often. But daily blessings sounds worthy.
