All Things Beautiful: 31 Devotions for Single Moms
At age fifteen, Nikki Leonti signed a record deal and had a successful Christian music career. Three years later she became pregnant out of wedlock, which caused many to turn away from her. When she envisioned her future, she didn’t foresee her life falling apart. Suddenly she was a single parent.
Many single parents feel alone, ashamed, hopeless, confused, or just plain tired—tempted to give in to the negative voices that say it’s impossible to fulfill the dreams of their youth. From personal stories of overcoming, to Scriptures that were her anchor during the most difficult moments, Nikki shares transparently her journey of experiencing God’s redeeming grace.
This book will help
- Re-center your heart and mind towards what is good.
- Navigate through the uncertainty that comes with single parenting.
- Discover that your baggage can be the source of the greatest joy and restoration.
- Get back on track to fulfill the incredible purpose God has for your life!
There is no perfect parent and being a single parent can make you feel even more imperfect. If you’ve experienced the end of relationship, divorce, or loss of a spouse, this book is a great source of encouragement for parenting solo. There is not a past too messy that can keep God from transforming the most hopeless situation into a beautiful story.

All Things Beautiful: 31 Devotions for Single Moms is a devotional written by a flawed Christian who is willing to share parts of her story. Sometimes devotions can be a little too vague or too perfect. With this book, Nikki Leonti Edgar has created a devotional for those of us who need something that acknowledges that life is messy.
Edgar comes to the book with a divorce, children who had custody with their father that she visited as often as she could, and a current marriage with more children. She has been to the hard, messy places of single parenting and divorce. Those of us with even just parts of the same story can relate to her journey, which brings more meaning to these devotions.
Each devotion is short and each is followed by a section called Beauty Mark, which gives a final thought, a Bible verse, a prayer, and a journal prompt. They can be read in just 2 or 3 minutes. Add a few minutes to pray and follow her journaling prompts, and you can still fit this into 10 minutes at the start or end of your day (or anywhere you can squeeze it in).
At the end of the book, Edgar has included a section with Bible verses broken down by topics like comfort, patience, and faith. These are handy when you need quick inspiration.
I recommend this book for single and divorced moms and dads (because even though this book describes a single mom, I think the dads would relate, also). Also, I think married moms would relate to parts of this book, as well, because motherhood is a somewhat universal journey, although it takes many forms.
