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 :)

For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson.
