Best Guide

This daily devotional has really encouraged me to read the word of God so that I can get closer to Him and understand His will for my life. Joyce breaks down scriptures in practical and easy terms. I start my day seeking God and his word and this devotional sets the tone for my day.

This book is perfect for a quick devotional to start or end your day right! There are 365 pages of quick scripture-based reads, focusing on 1 verse each day. I’ve always loved me some Joyce Meyer, and I also loved this book!

I read this book for several days already. I'm not reading this book as daily devotional, but in straight manner. The content was good for meditation, it's quite simple but very practical. Most of them was about joy and enjoying life in Christ.

This is a devotional by Joyce Meyer and teaches you how to become closer to Jesus.
I like this devotional as it leaves you with a thought for the day to meditate on. The readings themselves are very brief and fit into any odd moments.
I was given this book by Netgalley for a fair and impartial review.
