As they say you cannot judge a book by its cover. But, in this case you can judge this book by its beautiful cover. Someone complained I guess that they did not know it was a devotional. Well, it is a devotional book, especially for women but not exclusively, and one that I would highly recommend especially if looking for a quality gift with meaning to give to someone. The photos throughout are exquisite. But the substance for each day is what brought me in and was meaningful. Candace gives the reader 30 days of thematic topics all centered around the idea of renewal that included plenty of Bible verses from a variety of versions, a page of personal thoughts from Candace, a section of questions and comments to think about and react to and finally an action page to fill out with a variety of activities. Those action pages were some of the best ideas including the one on faithfulness where you circle 3 words that describe God to you and 3 words that you want to be on display for others. There is an abundance of space to journal and react which I think is the best part about the devotional. Plus, you have daily readings that can supplement each in the back. She is one of our favorite celebrities and this is a winner on many accounts.
