Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book has been very uplifting and inspiring! I cannot wait to start 2020 off right with a daily reflection with God and the peace this book will bring!
I like how there is scripture at the beginning of each day. The message is also something a mother or single person can relate to. The messages are not long, so it is a quick easy read at the beginning of the day before things get hectic or at the end of the day when you want to wind down,
Received this through Net Galley and I really enjoyed all the different stories and devotions that this author put in this nice little book! This would make a very nice present for anyone! Very well selected verses where it makes you to stop and think and wonder where you are going and why and what maybe you can change in yourself to be a better mom,woman and just a human being!
I grew up watching my parents read Our Daily Bread devotionals that came monthly. Daily Bread is now making a yearlong compilation of devotions that has a section of scripture to read from Bible and a verse at top of a page devotion. The one for mothers is perfect for a mom to grab when she has five minutes and needs a quick encouragement in the job of raising children. Each devotion contains truth and will strengthen a mom. This is a great gift for a mom to use as the New Year starts.
I love "Our Daily Bread." As the mom of a toddler, I was very excited about this title. While I have certainly found some of the devotionals uplifting, I was a tad bit disappointed. Some of them seem only tangentially connected to parenting. Others seem like they are missing the connection. There is the story, but I feel like a few more lines of text would have better connected the story to the message of the devotional.
But, on the other hand, if you are super pressed for time (what mom isn't!), this gives a quick refresher into the Word..
Thanks NetGalley and publishers for the free e-ARC.
Easy to read, short devotionals for moms who don't have a lot of time. This is a great resource for getting in some prayer and quiet time while still attending to your family. Highly recommend to any mom!
Moments of Peace for Moms sounds like a great idea. As Christian moms, we all need short, quickly readable bits of spiritual thoughts to digest every day.
However, this devotional didn’t do it for me. Instead of deep thoughts, the devotionals are all personal, story-based snippets. Some don’t seem very well fleshed out, and some are all right. But overall, this is not a book I found myself eager to return to or even keeping my attention.
Though each day here has a bible verse to consider, the stories just didn’t give me a lot of information about the verse and how I should meditate on it, and instead gave too much emphasis on the personal stories for my taste.
That said, I realize that I personally lean toward more analytical studies and devotionals, and some moms might prefer the method here.
Thank you NetGalley for the book to review.
I really enjoy these daily devotions for women. i believe this is the second book like this that I've read and they always seem to hit so close to home and truly describe some situations I've found myself dealing with. I get a sense of peace reading these devotionals and will continue to read them even though I've finished the book.
"Moments of Peace for Moms" is a daily devotional for Moms. As Moms we have a unique job . We can impact and set the basics for the foundation of our children's lives. We can teach them important values . We can also guide them in making important decisions. We must put God first in our daily lives so we can impact our families. These devotions are a great way to put God first. The topics are geared toward the daily demands a mom faces. It is well written and each devotional is the perfect length for a busy mom. Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for allowing me to read and review this book. This review are my opinions and not influences by anyone else. I am posting my review on Goodreads, netgalley facebook, my blog, Amazon and with our church staff.
This was a good devotional. I always like the structure of short devotions to read each day to encourage you to stay in God's word daily even on the days you don't feel like you have the time.
I have read a lot of devotionals. I wouldn't say this one is one of my favorites. I have read others that I found more relatable and continue to use as a reference. I don't think I will have the desire to reread this devotional.
Perfect gift for any mom especially those raising children! This Christian devotional is packed with edifying scriptures and plenty of stories that allow short, quick moments to ponder attitudes, dive into His word, reframe your day, and spend just a bit of time with God’s truth.
Well done devotional!!! Thank you to NetGallry for this digital advanced reader copy for me to read and enjoy, As always, my opinions are my own.
Moments of Peace for Moms is a great devotional for us busy moms. Each days passage is meaningful and impactful without being overly long. I like how some days I could totally relate to the scripture and days passage. I would definitely recommend this to busy moms.
This book opens with the statement, “Moms deserve their very own devotional book.” — a statement with which I wholeheartedly agree. As a mom myself, I’ve experienced several days of struggle in caring for my children.
Even with spending what time I could in the Scriptures, there were days when I would have loved to focus on things that pertained to my role as a mom. While I could search for and read passages that related to motherhood, the reality of time constraints makes this particular devotional book so valuable. The Scriptures and devotions presented are already together in one place providing an opportunity for moms to deepen their relationship with God while performing one of life’s most challenging roles and dealing with time issues.
This devotional makes an excellent gift for any time of the year but it would be a great way to help a mom begin the new year. The mom on the receiving end will be so grateful for it.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book provided by the publisher and Net Galley. However, the thoughts expressed are totally my own.
Moments of Peace for Mothers is awesome! The reading takes a moment or possibly 2, and the scripture is linked, making it only a click away, and only requires a moment.
As a homeschooling housewife with 2 busy little boys, this book meets all the requirements for a daily touchstone. It is not a deep Bible Study that takes an hour (gotta have those sometimes-just not every day with little people), but it does refocus and reframe the day beautifully.
Each day has either an extremely practical tip, or a story that resonates, so you don't feel like you are the only one who deals with wild stuff.
The tips range from practical motherhood strategies and encourage you to be disciplined because it is do-able, to enhancing your time with God.
I would highly recommend this book to every mother / mother to be. Even grandmothers would enjoy it and be reminded of the early days.
I am totally writing this review while hiding in the bathroom for 5 minutes peace 🙃😜
I received an advanced copy of the book from @netgalley and chose to review it here. All thoughts are my own.
It allows you to lose yourself for a moment to regroup. Love the way it way compose and the artwork was amazing, The collection of the articles help you to go right to the one you need just for that day.
This is a user friendly book of devotions suitable for a busy mother. The devotions are very short, but meaningful and always contain reference to scripture. They provide biblically based food for thought that can be meditated upon as one goes through their day. I would recommend to any busy mother who despairs that she has no time to spare during her day for a “quiet time”.
I should start off staying I do not have any children. However, I have still enjoyed the various devotionals and thoughts presented for each day. Each day has a different message tied to a scripture reading. The message is different and each one that I have read makes me stop and think for a moment about how I am living my life.
Each day's devotional is short but packs a punch with its message - love one another, treat each other with respect, care for those around you, and remember to pray and thank God and those around you for all the good in your life.
Moments of Peace for Moms delivers just what the title says -- a very short, easy to read devotional, often with questions at the end to make you think about your life and where your mind and behaviors are taking you. Having downloaded it onto my phone, it is easy to pull up and read when I have a quick moment. I appreciate the ease of use and some of the stories within helped me to re-think my own attitudes about things.
Thank you Netgalley and Our Daily Bread for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an honest review.
Moments of Peace for Moms, Compiled by Our Daily Bread Miniseries is a short visit of encouragement each day for any age mom.
In my fast past life, it reminded me to slow down and to simply be thankful.
A beautiful gift for any mom.
I was a little surprised at this book because it's a different approach than most in its genre. Compared to others, this seems to have more snippets of a real person's life and their reactions to the situations around them, including how to make circumstances more positive, despite what they may look like. It's a story-based inspirational book that you'll either really love or it might not be your cup of tea. Depending on where you're at in your inspirational journey, this could be just the ticket for you because it's a real person sharing their daily insight. If you're looking for something more general or vague that fits many different personalities, you might want to keep shopping around. Overall, I like the unique approach, even though it wasn't my preferred style. I'm sure there is a large group of mom readers out there who could relate to it though. Thank you for sharing your book with me!
