The ARC of this book of daily devotions, Moments of Peace for Moms, was sent to me in exchange for an honest review. It is a compilation of brief devotions by Daily Bread Ministries.

I found it to be soothing, encouraging, prayerful, and meditative. In other words, I think it provides an excellent time-out for busy, overworked moms everywhere.

If you have a mom, get her a copy. If you are a mom, get yourself a copy. Actually, it is helpful for anyone, not just moms.

A pleasant devotional book, I enjoy reading the short lesson in the morning. It's a good way to start the day, I think some of it's more general than relatinng specififcally to Moms but still good.

As a busy mom to two little ones, I rarely have time to sit and read anything that requires a lot of focus. This one page devotional is short enough to let me get some spiritual reflection time in. Each personal story has scripture that you can reference and expound upon when you have more time. This would be great for moms of all ages to give them brief moments of peace with God.

I enjoyed reading this book both as a mom and a daughter who loves her mom. It was inspiring and heart warming. I grew up reading Our Daily Bread and I enjoyed this book.

I enjoyed the daily bible verses and anecdotal stories to go with them. There were a variety of contributors to the daily devotions, so it was nice to get the different perspectives. I think any christian mom would look forward to reading these short devotions each day.

This is such an encouraging book. Daily devotionals with bible verses and short stories. They’re short enough to fit into any busy mom’s daily life.

This book was different than what I normally read, but I really enjoyed it! It includes a short daily read, starting with January 1. I didn't start it at the beginning of the year, but I really liked how each inspirational story was quick and only took a couple minutes of my day. Some of the stories hit home more than others, but that is because we are all individuals with different struggles, so the same ones that I really liked might not be as meaningful to the next person. They were all a joy to read no matter what.
I received an e-copy of this book through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

This book is a well written, focused devotional for mothers who are Christians. It prompts spiritual thought while being focused enough to fit into tight schedules.

Encouraging verses for each day. The accompanying story was short enough to make it easy to fit into a busy schedule.

A year of daily devotions that are short but filled with scripture and story that will have you pondering throughout the day. A gentle reminder of what should be important in our lives. Really enjoyed the short stories that go along with the scriptures and how quickly they can be read. Makes it great for busy lives. Thank you to Our Daily Bread Ministries and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This is a nice devotional book for moms. I. liked that each day was a short and meaningful story to go along with the Bible verse. It is important to have a Bible handy as you read each day so that you can read the verse in its entirety (sometimes the verse is only in the book in part and sometimes the quote give is not even from the verse for that day). For moms looking to fit in a Bible devotional each day, this is an easy option.

This is a beautiful book. A devotional for moms with bible verses and short stories. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a little more teaching in their lives.

I am a Mom for my grandchildren. I never thought I would be parenting again at this stage of my life. This book is a daily reminder to me to count my blessings and be thankful for all the love in my life.
Many thanks to Daily Bread Publishing and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Although I received a copy of this ebook from the publisher in exchange for a review, all opinions remain my own.

This is a daily devotional aimed at mom's but really, it can be any person in a "mothering" care-taking role. I feel like if you are taking care of someone, you can be considered a "mom." This book might be for you. The devotionals are pretty straightforward. Not something to help you dive deep in to the word, but something to help keep you refreshed each morning or each night before bed. I only read a few days worth, but the ones I read were uplifting and offered scripture to go with them. I think this book would make an awesome gift for a new mom or even someone you know who just needs a pick me up. Stick a coffee gift card inside and you are good to go.

Everyday inspirational readings are a great way to start or finish your day. This is a book to consider. It has a reading for every day of the year. These only take about five minutes to read and if you’d like to write thoughts are questions or anything that inspired you through the reading you could do that too. Some topics include stress and worry. This is an inspirational book and perfect as a nice size to carry with you to perhaps read while waiting on your child at a practice or keep it by your bed. It includes a theme each day with a Bible verse and something extra for reflection, such as a brief personal story or reflection. It is set up with the day of the year at the top, but use it how it best suits your needs. Maybe not everyday and every story will reach you in is a nice book. The questions at the end get you thinking too. Will these devotions give you moments of peace?
