Solid 3... maybe a 3.25 if I would have read it before starting down a journey this year of being more intentional with my relationship with God. I do feel like I learned about different individuals and their faith walks through the examples provided; however, I did feel like it was almost a mini infomercial for her other books/works. That turned me off a little bit.

This book really helped me establish a consistent, daily quiet time with the King of Kings! One of the biggest questions I get asked through Crown of Beauty Mag is, "How can I spend time with Jesus? Should I use a Bible reading plan? A devotional? Bible journaling? Set up a prayer room? Take walks?" The answer to that question is: YES. All of the above! I love Catherine's creative approach, as she offers many wonderful ideas as to how our hearts can draw closer to the King of Kings. Even though she offers lots of suggestions, it's truly between you and the Lord to make each "Quiet Time" special. The Lord longs to have relationship with us, and so Catherine points out that in the same way you'd plan to do something special with a friend, the Lord wants to do something special with us! So get out of your old rut, get this book, and be inspired to spend even MORE time with the Lover of your soul!

Excellent book about developing regular quiet time with the Lord. Designed to be read each day for 30 days, there is so much to linger over longer. I have found this book to be an invaluable resource for getting my devotional time on track. I highly recommend Six Secrets to a Powerful Quiet Time from Catherine Martin. I will continue to read through this book and gain wisdom from the helpful information given.
