We think we need to be perfect. After all, the parental acceptance we received as children based on behavior, the photos we now see of others on social media, the amazing testimonies we hear, all of it make us wonder if we are ever good enough for God's approval, for His love.

Byrd encourages us to know we are loved by God and then to love ourselves as God loves us. I like her bull's-eye explanation of love. At the center is loving God. Next is loving ourselves. Then love expands to those around us in succeeding circles.

Byrd is honest and practical on a variety of topics, like body shape. I like how she develops insightful spiritual lessons from every day events and observations. She is real, sharing many of her own lessons learned. That gave me encouragement to be aware of what God is saying to me and what I can learn from Him as I go through my day.

My favorite devotion was “Get Your Pink Back” (day 62). Byrd gives us permission to say no when it is necessary to care for ourselves. Then we will have the necessary well being to care for others. I also really liked her spiritual insights from what she saw while walking past a school playground. She encouraged me to see all of life in a godly way.

I highly recommend this devotional full of insight and encouragement.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. My comments are an independent and honest review.

I've long been a fan of Sandra Byrd's fiction stories so I was excited to see this 90-day devotional she penned. Each devotional focuses on loving ourselves as God loves us - unconditionally and with grace. Each one emphasizes that no one needs to be perfect to be a much-loved child of God, and each works at dismantling the myth that we have to be something we're not to earn God's love.

Byrd uses everyday stories from her own experiences combined with pertinent Scripture to get her points across, and since each is very short, it's a great way to focus on devotional time without having to spend hours in an already busy day. (Now, don't get me wrong, if you WANT to spend hours devoted to study of Scripture, you can still do that!) I loved how each devotion focused on some personal aspect that might need some work. I also loved the stories from Byrd's family or personal experiences. I've found myself reading several at a time just because I enjoy the short little stories so much.

I absolutely recommend More Than Enough to readers who are looking for a new devotional. This is especially geared toward women, but I think there is something here for anyone looking to grow their faith.

After reading several passages from Sandra Byrd’s latest devotional, I purchased two copies for family members. Why? Byrd encourages her readers to draw near to God and view themselves through His lens.
Let’s face it. We live in a highly competitive world, often reaching for impossible goals. When we do not reach the mark, we are left feeling less than. Byrd reminds us that we are unique and we need not try to be something we’re not. We have a purpose, and with God’s help, we are more than enough.
Gobsmacked. A good word to describe me when starting this book. In the first week, Byrd talks about loving others as we love ourselves. So how can we love others when we don’t love ourselves? Byrd answers that question and gives her readers several things to ponder when thinking about love.
This devotional will be one I read again and again.

This is the third devotion I've read by Sandra Byrd and probably my favorite. She uses stories much like Christ did by telling parables to His followers to make the scripture come alive.

As humans of today with likes, comments, and text messaging, we, as women, are battling our own self-love daily. If you grew up in my generation, it was considered vanity to love yourself, but we not only need to love ourselves, we need to realise and understand how much God loves us, and Sandra Byrd shows us how much we are loved by God in the pages of this book.

This little book is perfect for when you're looking for a quick devotional. The only problem, you'll keep reading because, in Sandra Byrd's style, you won't be able not to read it.

More Than Enough is a book of 90 devotions for loving yourself as God loves you by Sandra Byrd. It begins how we fit in the family of God as daughters, sisters and friends. Thinking this was the direction of the devotions which is the same as much that is written for women today, I found out how wrong I was. With each daily devotional it gradually goes much, much deeper into the questions we have as people of God. The questions of living in bodies not meant for eternal in this flawed world or the struggles that goes with living in a broken world. Many of the later devotional resonated with me where I am in life at this moment. I can highly recommend this devotional to read, mediate on the verses and for looking unto the Lord.

[Debbie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a devotion to savor like a cold glass of lemonade in the hot afternoon sun. Each devotion is packed with relatable experiences and encouragement and filled with God's Word. Sandra Byrd is a master at pouring out a clear picture of the everyday and sprinkling it with the sweetness of God's care and love. The result is refreshment to both mind and spirit, imbued with the truth of how God sees and values us, and wants us to do the same. More Than Enough is more than worth your time.
I was gifted a free copy of the book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. After reading a few short devotions, I preordered a copy to gift a friend in need of the nourishing message within this beautiful book.

[Jennifer K · Rating 5 out of 5]

This devotional was so refreshing to read. Sandra Byrd had me rethinking and reframing patterns that I hadn’t even recognized or considered. The readings were interesting, relatable and filled with memorable stories and examples. I appreciated the scripture references and the solid teaching included in each page of this thought-provoking book. This wonderful slim volume is perfect to take with you anywhere. Personally, I found that More Than Enough was a perfect way to get my day started. It would make a great gift for someone that you truly care about. I was given a copy of this book by the publisher. All opinions are my own.

This book is a series of devotions that you could read daily. They have no dates on them so they could be read at any time. This book is geared towards women and encouraging them that they are enough.

Sandra uses a real life example in each devotion or provides context and links it to Bible verses. They are short reads so can be read in bite sized pieces.

I receive complimentary books for various sources, including Netgalley, Authors, and other such sources. I am not required to write a positive review and have not received compensation.

Thoughtful is the word that kept coming to mind as I read Sandra Byrd’s “More Than Enough.” This devotional is like a deep conversation with a wise friend. Each day Sandra Byrd gives a personal story illustrated by Scripture and a meaningful lesson on how we are all more than enough.

This is a great devotional to read daily or one to pickup when we are in need of encouragement and comfort.

I have just finished my 90-day journey through Sandra Byrd's newest devotional and am halfway through her One Year Home and Garden Devotional. She does a masterful job of supporting scripture with personal stories of everyday life that I find very relatable. These short devotions are a great way to start each day. Thanks to NetGalley, Our Daily Bread Publishing and the author for an advance copy to read and review.

[Renee · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've been reading a few of these devotions each day and every one is a blessing. They are so relevant to my life and the messages are uplifting and encouraging. My mother and grandmother would also enjoy this wonderful devotional as it is written so that women of all ages can glean tidbits of wisdom that are based solidly in Scripture and conveyed in a gentle and friendly manner. I highly recommend this beautiful devotional!

[Judi Hunt · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received this book to provide reviews. What a beautiful book it has been. Love the cover. Love the quality of the book. Love the encouragement on every page, that I am enough, just as I am. I have been sharing this book with a couple of my coworkers. It is currently in my desk drawer at work to share when someone needs to know they are more than enough, just as they are. Don't we all need that reminder. Thank you Sandra for such a lovely reminder that we all need!

[Pam · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book reminds us of God's love for us, His precious daughters. Sometimes we tend to get so involved in caring for others, doing all the things we think we should do, that we forget to care for ourselves. I found the short, daily reflections to be very affirming and helpful to remember to love myself as God loves me. I recommend it. I received a complimentary copy of the book. All thoughts are my own.

[Meagan Pelletier · Rating 5 out of 5]

Byrd is witty, warm, and wise in this devotional. Each one feels as if a friend is speaking straight to the heart. I found myself marking certain favorites that were especially touching. Her joy clearly comes through this book that is written about an issue that far too many women struggle with. This book really buoyed my spirits and was the best possible pep talk.

[Gael · Rating 5 out of 5]

Am currently reading Sandra's newest devotional . It is resinating with me that I am loved by
my Heavenly Father and he loves me as I am. So I need to love my self as he loves me.
Her personal stories and scripture makes me want to keep reading instead of daily. Truly a lovely devotional for women. Will be gifting the devotional to my girlfriends.

Meaningful and applicable devotions that bend the heart toward what is important on this journey with God.

[Inspirationalfictionreader · Rating 5 out of 5]

Prior to reading More Than Enough, I had already enjoyed two other devotionals by Sandra Byrd. In fact, one of my all-time favorites is Experiencing God’s Love, so when I heard about this new release, I knew I had to read it.

What I love most about Ms. Byrd’s devotionals is her writing style. She shares personal stories with such warmth, honesty, and vulnerability that they feel incredibly relatable. She has a gift for connecting her experiences to Scripture in a way that speaks directly to your heart. So often while reading, I found myself thinking, This is exactly what I needed to hear today.

I highly recommend More Than Enough, especially if you tend to be too hard on yourself. It’s encouraging, comforting, and a beautiful reminder of God’s grace.

I received a complimentary copy of this devotional. All opinions are my own. 5 stars.

A beautiful devotional focusing on true self-love

Sandra Byrd’s beautifully written devotional, More Than Enough, is a great read that dives into self-love through the lens of Christ.

Sandra's writing demonstrates how understanding God’s heart enables us to love ourselves the way the Lord loves us. Jesus says to love others as we love ourselves. Through personal stories and reflections, Sandra helps us see how he expects us to love ourselves and does not condemn self-love, as long as it’s not about chasing our own glory. Worshipping ourselves? That’s where it goes wrong. Worship is for God alone. By learning to love ourselves the way the Lord loves us, we are better equipped to love others.

I love Sandra's stories, Biblical principles, and encouragement. Reading her devotionals, I've read quite a few, always feels like sitting down with a great friend or mentor as we chat about the Lord, life, and even the fun stuff, like baking, nature, gardening, and family.

As a life coach who works with Christian mothers, I highly recommend this devotion as a supplement to help discover true and biblical self-love, so you can find joy as children of God, as well as joy in loving and serving your families. This book is beautiful, sweet, and packed with biblical truth. I highly recommend More Than Enough!

Note: I got a free copy from the publisher for an honest review. All thoughts are mine.

Oh Sandra Byrd, how did you know I would need the words in these pages! I imagine many reading this book will feel the same way.

I absolutely loved how Sandra took ordinary, every day life events and tied them to lessons and scripture. There are so many scriptures that I see in a completely different light now, thanks to this book.

The love poured into these pages is so powerful and I am so grateful.

Day 70 is my favorite day out of the entire book, and the entire book is outstanding. If you are grieving, this particular day will speak to your heart. It truly touched mine.

Thank you to the author for the copy of this book. All views are my own.

I was able to read this book prior to its publication.
More Than Enough is a collection of devotionals written by Sandra Byrd. Each devotional is like a conversation with a dear friend, which I have found to be characteristic of Sandra Byrd’s writing. Sandra shares her life and her love for God in each page. Every devotional is filled with warmth and the experience of someone who has had a long journey with God. This is a devotional that I will definitely read more than once.
