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
