The Little Women Devotional: A Chapter-by-Chapter Companion to Louisa May Alcott's Beloved Classic by Rachel Dodge Review

Happy Wednesday Friends :)

I hope today finds you well, and I want to thank you for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess.

I'm going to start off today's review by saying that Little Women is my all time favorite book. I read it for the first time when I was about eight years old, and ever since then, I've enjoyed rereading it over and over again.

When I found out that Barbour was publishing an upcoming devotional book based around Little Women, I couldn't wait to dive right into it.

Today I'm going to share with all of you what I ended up thinking about it.

Keep reading for my full review.

My Review:

Little Women has been my favorite book ever since I was a young girl, and I couldn't wait to dive into this devotional. Reading it brought to mind all of the reasons why I loved the novel so much in the first place, and it definitely brought both smiles to my face and tears to my eyes as each chapter of the book was used to highlight the importance of having faith in Jesus no matter what circumstances we're currently finding ourselves in.

I loved the way this one is written as a direct chapter by chapter companion to the novel, and the way that Rachel Dodge uses each event happening to Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy as an opportunity for the reader to grow their relationship with the Lord. Each day's devotion was the perfect length to give you something to think about, but also was able to be finished fairly quick and didn't require a huge time commitment. Each chapter features a a quick synopsis of the corresponding chapter in the book, a guided reflection on what faith would mean in that situation, and a prayer to close out with.

This book made me appreciate Louisa May Alcott's beloved classic novel even more, and is by far one of the best devotional books I've ever personally read. I can't possibly recommend it enough, and I can't wait to pick up another devotional book by this author in the very near future.

Final Rating: 5/5.

Thanks so much to Barbour Publishing for allowing me to advance read and review this one!

I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary advance reader copy of this novel from the publisher (Barbour) via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)

Announcing My Temporary Hiatus From Book Blogging

Hello all my sweet bookish lovelies :) I pray you all had a lovely Christmas, and are looking forward to having a wonderful New Year's as well. I've shared a little bit of info over the past few months on my blog about why I wasn't around as often, but now it's time to share with you all exactly what that is. My hubby and I found out we were expecting earlier this year, and we had the immense pleasure of welcoming our precious baby boy into the world this month. Because of this, I've decided to take a temporary step back from book blogging and reviewing, while I adjust to being a first time mom to a newborn. I will definitely be back blogging in some form or another, but not sure at this point exactly when that will be as my little man deserves all of his mommy's attention right now. I thank you guys all for being a part of another wonderful year here on The Preppy Book Princess, and I look forward to jumping back into the Christian book community sometime in ...

A Refuge in Montana by Allie Pleiter Review

Happy Monday My Sweet Bookish Friends :) It's been awhile, how have you all been doing? Originally, I had hoped to be back doing at least semi regular book reviews by now, and since I had an author offer me an ARC copy right around when I wanted to start trying again, I figured I'd give it a go. Unfortunately, I've been dealing with some health complications post partum (which I really don't want to go into at the moment), and my energy is just not where it needs to be at this point. I'm excited to get to share this review with you all as I did enjoy the title and would love to tell you more about it, but this will be my only review for awhile, at least until we can get everything figured out with my health. With that being said, let's dive right into today's review, but first if you'd like to check out my reviews of the previous titles in the series, you can do so using the links below: Rescue on the Farm A Montana Sized Secret Otherwise, keep on read...

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you've had time to curl up with some great books. This week, Lindsay Harrel's newest book released, and I loved it when I had the chance to read and review it. I'm excited to feature it for this week's First Line Friday post which is hosted by the lovely ladies over at Hoarding Books.
