God's Beloved Daughters by Merrilynn Grodecki



This is a daily devotional written for women. The devotions for each month follow a specific theme (January: New Beginnings, May: God’s Provision, October: Developing Character, etc.). Grodecki wants her female audience to see their worth in Christ and to dwell in the possibilities and the best life that He offers to us. Each devotion begins with some Bible verses to read and then proceeds into a reflection (which reads like a conversation between the author and reader).


This book was interesting, and it inspired me. I almost lost interest after the Introduction—the book seemed to be heading in a direction that focused solely on the author’s personal experience. I’m glad I kept reading though. Grodecki’s care for her readers is evident. The devotions are thoughtful and concise, and the idea of having a theme for each month keeps the devotions fresh. I plan to incorporate this encouraging book into my devotional time. I like that Grodecki includes a short Bible reading with each devotion and that her devotions vary in form—some are anecdotal, some reflective, all encouraging.


I recommend this book to others.


The publisher has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book through BookSneeze®. I was not required to write a positive review.
