My personal
Rating-
I’ll admit that I was a bit disappointed
that the ‘H’s weren’t capital when referring to God, but even with that, this
was a great devotional. Written in only pink text & colors, “More for Girls Only! Devotions” had
great lessons. Each Devo had a main Scripture, then a story/lesson with an
illustration, a check-up time (a simple quiz on how you’re doing on the topic),
how you can improve and lastly, five more Scriptures and three famous quotes. (Like,
quotes by Corrie Ten Boom, past presidents, Helen Keller, and C.S. Lewis to
name a few. There was also a couple of quotes by Gandhi, which I thought was
strange.) In the 60 Devotionals in this book, only a handful seemed geared specifically
towards public school girls. The illustrations are really cute as well.
Philippians 4:8 is also quoted, so that just made this Devo even better. ;)
See
y’all Tomorrow with a new Teen Week review!
