This was a really sweet devotional
prayer book! I think it would be best for ages 8-12 because it’s more on the younger
side with the topics of friends, drama, and popularity, but I still enjoyed it
and those a bit older could possibly use it as a companion book to their Bible reading.
There’s a sections with handful
of devotionals under each topic (Friends, Family, Relationship with God, Attitude,
Beautiful in Him, Peer Pressure, Good Choices, Hard Work, Salvation in Jesus, Growing
Up, Tough Stuff, Joy and Thanksgiving, Serving, Big Stuff Ahead!, The World
Around Me, Trust, Ups and Downs, & Discoveries).
I have to add that I really liked
that the devotional titled “Modesty” didn’t only mention clothing and outward
appearance. It also mentioned about not wanting to use bad words or make dirty
jokes. The prayer is asking to be pure and spotless in every area of the girl’s
life.
A pro and con to this devotional
would be that it’s a bit basic as it only has a prayer and Scripture. That’s a
pro because there’s no possibility of twisting Scriptures like in other
devotionals that expand on one verse for a couple paragraphs, but can also be a
con because it’s not a very in-depth devotional, if you’re looking for that. It
was still a cute devotional, though, and I liked a lot of the prayers.
See y’all on Monday with a new
