Being in this season of life, this new book releasing soon The Perimenopause Devotional – 30 Days of Grace, Humor, and Relief for Surviving the Hormonal Havoc by WaterBrook was a relatable read. Touching on different symptoms, along with a scripture to focus on as you navigate the new season faithfully, while also providing some different hacks and prayers to help get you through. There were also some humorous points in the book made, which is sometimes needed, as laughter can be good medicine!

Here are a couple of the highlights I took to help me:

But God knows you. He knows the innermost workings of your body, your mind, and your heart. You are not lost. When the latest symptom has you questioning your sanity, remember who you are in Him, and remember that your identity in Him never changes.
God knows you’re struggling, and He gave you weapons to fight against anger, despair, anxiety, irritation, and any other emotions that the enemy tries to use to keep you from experiencing peace.
Reading anything can help you wind down, but reading the Bible turns your thoughts upward – to the One who gives you rest.
Remember that God created you with purpose and nothing about you is an accident or random.

This is a great book for us women in our 40s and 50s. It really is a new season and this was encouraging and helpful to read. I haven’t seen anything biblical on this subject and it is what I needed reminders of in this season!

I have never seen anything like The Perimenopause Devotional before. I could be wrong but it really seems like a one-of-a-kind resource. What I really appreciate about this book is that it is grounded in medicine and science, and encourages women to reach out to professionals along with the devotional content. The 30 day format is okay but I think it would actually be more helpful as a topical resource, since some of the days really won’t apply to some women. It would be a great resource to jump into when you are having a specific challenge and you are looking for encouragement and advice. Each day starts with a related bible passage, an encouraging section with stories and research backed information, a suggested prayer, journaling space and then some quick tips (“hormonal havoc hack:’). Topics include mood swings, sleep, skin, periods, stress, sleep, hot flashes and lots more topics that I think everyone of a certain age can relate to.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for a review copy of this book.

I absolutely loved this devotional- not only is it uplifting, informative, and inclusive, but it reminds women we are not going through these symptoms alone. It not only gives Biblical support, but also suggestions and ideas to help through perimenopause symptoms. I am so grateful more women are sharing about this decade in our lives, so we can grow through it together.
