By Still Waters 365 Devotions to Quiet and Refresh Your Soul by Anita Higman and Marian Leslie Review

Hello Friends :)

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

I've mentioned quite a bit on my blog lately that life has been really challenging lately, and I've been trying to lean into Jesus more and more, instead of trying to rely on my own strength.

One such way I've been trying to grow my faith is by reading devotionals, and today I'd like to share with you all a review of a devotional that I read throughout 2021 that I really ended up loving.

Keep reading below for my full review.

My Review:

By Still Waters was exactly what I needed for the year 2021. This beautiful devotional provided scriptural truths and comforts throughout one of the hardest years I've ever personally had, and I enjoyed how the authors never sugar coated anything.

Life is tough, but God is with us throughout everything, and I especially loved the little stories the authors used in each devotion to emphasis the meaning of the scripture. Attention was given to life's pleasures never being able to truly fulfill, how God walks through us through the hard times, and how there's something to be thankful for in each and every day.

This book gave my faith a much needed boost, and I loved how flawlessly the authors' words were able to blend together. I also appreciated that everything was reliable and never went against biblical truth.

I would wholeheartedly recommend this one, and I'd love to try out others books by these authors in the future.

Final Rating: 5/5.

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

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books . For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

First Line Friday: The Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...

First Line Friday simply consists of sharing the first line from the book you're currently reading, and today I'm going to be sharing from Mandi Blake's new book, which released last week. Remembering the Cowboy by Mandi Blake: About the Book: They have unfinished business. She just can’t remember what it is. Camille Vanderbilt is headed back home to Wyoming with one goal: find her old best friend and give him a piece of her mind for ghosting her six years ago. She won’t let anyone stand in her way… until a deer runs into the road and causes her to wreck and forget almost everything. Noah Harding lives a simple life as a firefighter and rancher until Camille cras...
