The Inspiring Grandmother, 90 Day Devotional (Our Daily Bread) with Doris Rikkers and Jeannette Taylor as editors. This includes selections written by various Chritian women authors such as Elisa Morgan, Cynthia Heald, Karen Kingsbury, Ruth Graham, Carol Cymbala and one of my favorite Thelma Wells.
In the credits it states that most of the articles first appeared in The Grandmother’s Bible which is published by Zondervan. I was not familiar with this Bible but thought it might be helpful for some to know this. I thoroughly enjoyed these devotions in this collection. Like the Our Daily Bread, the articles are short but meaningful. The focus is on Christ, increasing our faith along with praying for our grandchildren to do likewise.
The prayers at the end were also helpful, serving as a guide for my own personal ones. The one thing that I noticed is that the prayer for grandchildren did not always go along with the devotional but the one for the reader did. Often I chose to modify the grandmother’s personal prayer to reflect more of the devotional theme. I found that this made my prayer time more specific for each of my grandchildren.
4.5 Stars The publisher through Net Galley provided an ARC. I have voluntarily decided to read and review, giving my opinion and thoughts.
have been looking for a devotional to purchase for my mother for Mother’s Day and was thankful to be sent this book from the publisher and NetGalley. As I read through the daily devotionals, I pictured my mother reading them to help her connect with her grandchildren. I am excited to buy the physical copy for her this year.
