This is the kind of book you go back to revisit. It's not a one-time read as wisdom for strength through struggles isn't a learn once and done. I enjoyed it and have no doubt I will pull it back off the shelf again in the future.
This was a great devotion to guide quiet times. Each week had a theme and five days within it. Each day had scripture, reflection questions, and additional verses. I did this on my own for a little over two months, and enjoyed having a guided quiet time for a change!
Julie Clinton leads women on a deep dive on the subject of faith in this devotional book. With clear writing and a beautiful love of God that drenches each devotional, we can see the lessons learned through God’s patient teaching.
Using faith as the springboard, she branches out into ten different parts that are keys to building faith. From the topics of beauty and hope to passion and discontent, Clinton shows us the path to a deeper intimacy with God. But, even though God uses her to illuminate the way, the choice to follow is still yours.
Honest and discerning, this book will no doubt lead many women to understand what it looks like to have extraordinary faith. If you struggle with faith yourself, or if you simply want to grow closer to God, this is the book for you.
This book was read as part of a group bible study. For this purpose it is not ideal. There are many quite personal questions that the author asks the reader to be honest about, and this does not always make for good discussion.
The book started off strong, but felt repetitive and lacking insight by the end.
