Book Review: "Beloved: 365 Devotions for Young Women" by Lindsay Franklin
What a precious book, y'all. Each day of the year has a Bible verse, a short devotion, and a small space for journaling. I do mean small...that's my only issue with this book. It says it has "journaling space to help readers reflect on the day's message." There are 4 small lines at the end of each day. So you're not going to write a book, but maybe a short prayer?
If you're not that into journaling anyway, the Kindle edition might be right up your alley! And right now on amazon it's only $1.99!
Each devotion speaks to an area of a young woman's life: insecurity, jealousy, making mistakes, being humble, being flexible, feeling loved, strength, hope, etc. using female examples from the Bible. For example, on back to back days a young lady can read about Leah and Rachel, sisters in the Bible who were married to one man.
Leah wasn't as loved as Rachel, so it speaks to insecurity and how God takes care of us in a special way, *especially* when we feel unloved. (If you are unfamiliar with the story of Jacob, Leah and Rachel you can read it in Genesis.) God allowed Leah to have many sons, while Rachel was barren for a long time. Rachel was the love of Jacob's life. She had his love; but she *wanted* his children. So Rachel's story speaks to jealousy.
This book is a great devotion for teenage girls, or maybe a little older young ladies, especially if they are newer to the faith as it isn't really "heavy" spiritually.
You can purchase this book on amazon HERE.
