[Ije the Devourer of Books · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is such a beautiful devotional book that accompanies the reader over approximately three months. It can be read at any time of the Church year.

The author has written a devotional that provides empathy, encouragement, truth and hope and all of this is held together by love. The author has managed to take her personal experiences and struggles and share them with everyone, to remind people about the hope that the Lord brings.

Obviously this is a Christian devotional but can be read by anyone. It provides life. When I first started reading this I wasn’t too sure and I was convinced it would be full of platitudes and easy phrases but it wasn’t. Each day the stories and reflections spoke quite deeply to me and actually gave me grace and courage as I experienced the most difficult time I have ever had at work. The difficulties are not over yet but this book gave me both guidance and comfort.

I had a review copy via Netgalley but before I finished reading I went and bought my own copy which I shall read again and again.

This Is Not Forever Hopeful Reminders That God Has Abundantly More in Store (90 Devotions) by Sarah Grace Hallas is an encouraging read. Each devotion has a Bible verse and a closing prayer to go with the corresponding thought for that day. I used This Is Not Forever as part of my devotion time and I found it really encouraging for the season I was walking through at the time. The nuggets of wisdom that Ms. Hallas brings to light caused me to look at the season I was going through with a different perspective. I'm very grateful to have read This Is Not Forever Hopeful Reminders That God Has Abundantly More in Store (90 Devotions) by Sarah Grace Hallas and I highly recommend it. Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read this book. My review is also on Goodreads.

A friend gave me this book while I was going through a very stressful situation and more than once the daily devotion was exactly what I needed to hear.
