How have you all been doing lately? I've had a bit of a rough week as we've had to make some tough decisions that weren't the easiest, but that's okay because God is sovereign, and He always has a plan even when it might seem impossible.

It's much needed in our current society, and I hope you'll all keep reading down below for today's full review.

  Hello and Welcome Sweet Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you've taken some time away from your crazy day to stop on by my little corner of the internet.  I'm Kirby, and I've been blogging here on The Preppy Book Princess since September of 2015, and I continue to love getting to use this space to share my love of books, especially those that honor our Heavenly Father. Today's review is an extra special one for me because I've wanted to read this book for quite sometime, and I finally got around to doing so. Rachel Dodge is one of very favorite devotional authors, and I've got to read and review a couple of her other titles. You can check out those reviews using the links below: The Little Women Devotional The Secret Garden Devotional The Anne of Green Gables Devotional Now I hope you'll all keep on reading, and join me for today's review.

  Good Morning Bookish Lovelies :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you've taken the time to drop on by The Preppy Book Princess today for another book review. It's been a couple of long crazy weeks, and unfortunately that means my blogging time has been practically non existent. However, I wanted to get at least one more Christmas in July post up before the end of the month for you all, and that's exactly what I'm here to share today.  Today's review is a review that I'm particularly excited to share with you all, and that's primarily for two reasons. 1) I love getting to share about books during the Christmas season (or the Christmas in July season) that highlight the true reason for the season, and this one definitely does. 2) If you didn't already know this about me, which I'm sure some of you don't, I absolutely adore A Christmas Carol. I've read and watched so many variations and spin offs over the years wi...

  Good Morning Sweet Friends :) I pray today finds you doing well, and I'm so thankful you've taken the time to drop on by The Preppy Book Princess today for another book review. I love reading devotional books, and one of my all time favorite devotional authors is Rachel Dodge.

  Good Morning Bookish Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you've taken the time to drop on by The Preppy Book Princess today for another book review. I'm Kirby, and I'm always thrilled to welcome you over to my little corner of the internet. I'm a Christian gal who has been a voracious reader ever since I was a young child, and I particularly enjoy devouring titles that point the path to our precious Lord and Savior.  One of my more recent reading goals has been to read more Christian non-fiction. I want to spend more time studying the scriptures and learning more of the meaning behind them, and I'm enjoying finding titles that are helping me do so. A couple of years ago, an elderly man who has been a longtime friend of my family's wanted to downsize his ginormous book collection. He told me to help myself to whatever books I wanted, and I ended up taking home quite a few.  A lot of these titles were either older/and or les...

  Good Morning Bookish Lovelies :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you've chosen to take the time to drop on by The Preppy Book Princess today. I'm Kirby, and I'm always happy to welcome you to my little bookish corner of the internet. No matter how I look at it, nothing is as important as sharing my faith, and I love getting to use my blog as a tool to do so. A couple of years ago, I decided I wanted to start reading some deeper diving Christian non fiction titles, and I've discovered some amazing and maybe some not so amazing ones along the way. Today's review is going to be for a title I'd been anticipating reading for quite sometime, and I was thankful that my hold from the library was finally fulfilled.

  Hello Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you've chosen to take the time to stop by The Preppy Book Princess for another book review. The last couple of years, I've been trying to dive into reading more Christian non-fiction titles. I want to read more hard hitting stuff that truly causes me to examine my faith, and not just the fluffy devotionals that are so often aimed at women these days. A book had come on my radar quite a few times that I'd heard both amazing and horrible things about, and I decided it was time to give it a try. I hope you'll all keep reading down below to find out what I ended up thinking about it.

  Hello Everyone :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by The Preppy Book Princess today for another book review. Today we're going to be diving into a review of another Christian non fiction title, and I can't say enough amazing things about this particular title. As a Christian woman who has wanted to dive into reading more non fiction titles this year, I'm honestly kind of saddened by just how many titles aimed at my demographic are basically pure fluff reads. If I want to grow my faith, I need to read hard hitting books that don't sugarcoat the truth, and I was happy to finally find another title that seemed to hit this mark for me. I hope you'll all keep reading down below for my full review.

I'm Kirby, and I'm so thankful you're here! One of my reading goals for 2023 was to read more Christian non-fiction books, and I particularly wanted to read more ones with substance and less of the fluffy titles that seem to always be marketed towards Christian women these days.

  Hello Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I want to thank you for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. I'm going to be a bit candid on my blog today, as an intro into today's review, and let you all know that the last few years have been extremely difficult for me. I don't really feel like going into specifics, but to put it mildly, I've felt for quite a while like my "in the wilderness" season is never going to pass, and sometimes it's really hard to feel motivated to try and make an effort with anything when everything has been as bad as it has. I'm extremely grateful to Jesus and my hubby for pulling me through the darkest days again and again, and when I happened to stumble upon this Christian living book I'm about to share with you all today, I knew I wanted to give it a try. My circumstances of suffering were nothing like the author's, but considering she'd been through unimaginable ...

  Happy Wednesday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me here on The Preppy Book Princess for another book review. Without going into any details, I've been in a bit of a bad place the past couple of weeks. I can't say I'm yet where I should be, but I've been extra thankful the last little while for the book I'm about to review with you all today. I love reading devotionals at anytime of the year, but there's something extra important about reading them when you're going through a bad time in your life. This one ended up being exactly what I was needing, and I hope you'll all keep reading down below for my full review.

  Good Morning Bookish Friends :) It's been quite awhile since I last shared a non fiction book review on my blog, and I thought it was about time that I went ahead and changed that. I recently finished a Christian living book that I borrowed from the Libby app, and I thought it would be a good choice to share with you all for today's review.

  Happy Monday 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 haven't really talked too much on my blog about my not really being a Disney fan anymore, but I have to be honest that I've been very disheartened with some of the company's recent decisions, and it doesn't really seem to be a company, that as a Christian, I can find much value in anymore.  However, when I was a big Disney fan, The Little Mermaid was pretty much always my favorite, and I loved the fact that Jodi Benson (the woman who does Ariel's voice), is a Christian, and often uses her platform from this character to share her faith. When I heard she had a book releasing about her faith and her journey to become the voice behind such a famous character, I knew I couldn't wait to read it. Today I'm excited to share my review of this one with you all, and I hope you'll keep reading below ...

  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.

  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. If I'm being completely honest, the last year and a half have been really difficult for me. So many devastating blows have come my way in the last while, and sometimes it's hard to want to stay motivated to keep going.  I'm sure many of you have been through these times as well, and one of my favorite ways of combatting them is trying to draw closer to Jesus. For Christmas 2020, my mom gifted me a new 365 day devotional to focus on during the year 2021, and today I'd like to share a short review of that devotional with you all.
