This book is great for a light devotional...perfect for new believers and teens. It is structured and has specific prayers with scripture to back it up.

I'm finding it really hard to review this devotional, because I am so not the target audience. When I first requested the ARC from Netgalley, the book didn't have its full title yet, so I just saw "Coffee Shop Devos"... and nothing about it being for teens. Not the fault of the book at all, but I had to readjust my expectations somewhat.

That being said, I still felt like I got a lot out of the devotional. Granted, there were some I skipped, because they simply weren't relevant to me at this point in my life, but as a whole, I liked more than I disliked. Some were very superficial, but others really made me think. Had I been either 20-25 years younger or a much "newer" Christian than I am, I think I would have found it very relevant.

Genre: Non-fiction, devotional.

My Rating: 5 Stars.

Recommendation: Every girl who does or doesn't need a devotional!

My thoughts: I requested this from NetGalley AND got it for my birthday! Well, anyway I haven't read all of the devos yet, but I had to share my review! This is the best devotional I've found/read before and perfect for any girl (Even if she doesn't like coffee like me!) They are short devos, that makes me think about the lesson, and I didn't forget it right after I read it like most devotionals I've read. And I hope you'll check it out!

5 stars.

Excellent daily devotional! Tessa writes in a clear and engaging way, and I definitely think that Coffee Shop Devos can help draw teen girls closer to God. Each devotional includes a couple of things like: Bible verses, quotes, encouragement, and more. Plus, you get coffee recipes- I really love that Tessa includes these- I think it would be so much fun to get together with a group of girls, make some coffee, and read this book! Overall, a well-written and encouraging devotional that I think would be suitable for any teen girl!

Super fun book! I know it's aimed towards teenagers, but as a mom in her 20s, I found that these short little devos were the perfect length for me. It was a special treat to get to find a few minutes to myself, sip on a hot drink, and read a devotional. I would recommend it. Also, I can't wait to try the recipes!

Hall's debut non-fiction book is a collection of encouraging, short little devotionals. Each one includes a topic bible verse, a couple paragraph long encouragement, a quote, and a short prayer. Hall writes with a personal tone that makes you feel like you are having a conversation over coffee. Speaking of which, all the coffee imagery is so much fun for a coffee lover! Not to mention that adorable cover!

All in all, if you are looking for a short and to-the-point daily devotional, definitely check this one out!


FTC disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. I was not required to write a positive review. These are my honest thoughts and opinions.

I really enjoyed this devotional. Each day shares a "Scripture to sip on" and then "Let's Chat about It", "Let's Think about It", "Let's Pray about it", "Today's Dare" and "A Shot of Inspiration". The very last thing is to Join the convo! by posing a question that you can post on social media and hashtagging #CoffeeShopDevos!

I really felt this was a very well thought out Devotional for Teen Girls. First they don't have a lot of time because they are running from one activity to the next, doing homework, talking on the phone.... We want them to have a devotional time and the best time for that is different for everyone! I've always felt the best time for it is in the morning because it sets my day out right... This is the perfect length to do over coffee before heading out the door. The topics are very relatable to teens. I say that because it is rare to find a devotional written by an adult geared for teens that is relatable due to generational differences among other things. This would be a great stocking stuffer this Christmas... Enjoy!

This is a wonderful devotional to either pick up for yourself or to give to the young women in your life. I enjoyed the thought provoking, well placed devos.

The synopsis of the book calls it “a warm atmosphere” and I have to agree with that. The style of each entry is friendly and down-to-earth. Each devotion has the following sections:

Scripture to sip on
Let’s chat about it
Let’s think about it
Let’s pray about it
Today’s dare
A shot of inspiration
Join the convo

Each reading has a single Bible verse and then encouragement related to that verse and challenges to help deepen your relationship with God. I like the “Join the convo” idea. Each day there is a discussion question that you are encouraged to answer on social media (along with a picture of your drink of the day). So you can converse with others about how God is working in your life. Nice!

The devotionals are grouped in such a way to make it easy to find what you need for the day. Some examples of the groupings are:

Latte – Comfort in Trials
Coffee – Motivation for the Journey
Frappe – Encouragement to Be Yourself
Decaf – Finding Rest
As a bonus for those of you who actually drink coffee, there are a number of recipes for making your own.

Just remember, ladies, that a single Bible verse each day is not enough to feed your spirit and keep you strong. Use this book, get encouragement from it, but please do not let it replace daily reading of Scripture on your own!

I was given a free copy of this item. This gift did not influence my opinion or review.

A basic devotional with many good concepts which we all need. Each devotional had an opportunity to connect with others.

Can a religious book be delicious as well? It's what it tried to do Bethany House with Coffee Shop Devos by Tessa Emily Hall . Published this September, Tessa Hall starts to saying that it's beautiful to chat with a friend in a coffee shop. It's an intimate moment, a moment just for us and our best friend, where we share latest news, where we speak of our sufferance and joys, with calm, relaxation while we are sipping also a coffee or a drink derived by coffee. Some examples? A Mexican Americano, a Midnight mocha, a Nothing but Nutella Frappe (yum!) and so on.
God, Jesus, adds the author, is our best friend, in particular in an age like the teen-age age when girls feel that no one can understand them.
The approach used by the author is pretty warm and...sweet because accompanied not just by devotionals but...yummy recipes as well. Hall wants to stimulate the conversation of the teen-ages with God, thanks to Scriptures, meditation, imagining that they are sat in a coffee shop with Him, and then expanding this imaginary conversation on social media, their friends, online, and wherever they will want.
Every devotional starts with a recipe, then reflections from some verses of the Scripture.

I thank NetGalley and Bethany House for this eBook.

This is a light hearted way to include devotionals into the life of teenagers, especially those who may be hesitant to be involved in religion in other formal ways. While this is not relevant to my life (atheist adult) I can see that this will be a useful and valuable tool.
