This devotional couldn't have come at a better time not just in my life but also for 2020! So many of us are walking through some difficult days. When we go through these trying times, we need authenticity, honesty and someone to come alongside of us who understands. These devotionals provide exactly that. I could relate to almost every devotional in this book because they seek to meet you right where you are not where we think we "should" be in times of stress. Seeking Christ in our trials while allowing ourselves to experience the emotions that come along with it is so freeing and I highly recommend this devotional if you need grace, lack of judgement and encouraging support!

This hope-filled book is for any woman going through a difficult, even heart-breaking time. Many challenging subjects and situations are addressed by over 40 different authors. Each writing is based not only on the author's experience, but more importantly, on God's Word. I found the writing personal, raw, and always reminding me, in a gentle way, that true hope is found in something--that is--true hope is found in Someone greater than what is to be had on earth alone.

Take Heart
Written by many authors, yet with a common thread, Take Heart is encouraging and realistic. A book to be referred to time and again.

In these sometimes scary and uncertain times, it is comforting to know that God is with us even in the difficult places. Take Heart is a collection of devotionals that emphasizes the point. Each author writes from the heart and I am finding that I can take nuggets from every one. Some speak to me more than others because of the path I've walked, but each devotion is ministering to me. I will be reading one daily and starting over when it ends.

This book is much needed right now.

I received an advanced reader copy from the publisher.

Right now I am devouring devotionals to help calm me and give me peace through studying God’s word. The devotions are easy to read and understand and leave your spirit uplifted.

Such a beautiful and heartfelt book full of stories of truth, comfort and inspiration! Highly recommend it for a devotional to read each day!

A book we all need by our bedside during these troubling times. 100 devotionals from women who have weathered the storms of life and are sharing the hope found in Scripture and hanging on to the hand of God as we walk through the tough times. There is something for every one of our days.


"new life for dry bones"
"he will meet you in mourning"
"when mothering is just too hard"

just a few of the titles of these devotionals.

What a wonderful book! This book is full of encouragement. Each day has a bible verse, a devotion and a prayer to remind you that God is always beside you. This is a book you will turn to time after time. This book would make a wonderful gift for any woman. Thank you Revell-- (in)courage via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

I have been reading this wonderful devotional and I have to say if you are going through any trials in your life this book is definitely a source of encouragement. There are many different women sharing, difficulties they have experienced in their lives. They share the trial in a short story and then offer a prayer for you to pray to help you if you have gone through the same trial. You may also read and know a friend who is going through something similar and it will encourage you to share the story with them and how to pray for them. These are women just like us, they are not preaching, some of the stories will break your heart. I recommend this book to anyone Christian or not. We are all women and we all have problems and it is encouraging to know you are not alone.
I received a free download of this book from Netgalley. This review is totally my own honest opinion.

A meaningful, inspirational, encouraging devotional written by women just like you and me. Women from all walks of life, with different circumstances they face; struggles and victories just like you and me! This book would be a wonderful gift to yourself and any friend facing the challenges and changing moral climate of our world today.

Take Heart is a collection of devotions by a variety of women in many different circumstances. The struggles these women deal with include both physical and mental illness, difficult marriage, stress, motherhood, loss of faith, and just about any life issue common to living in a broken world. The women pour out their hearts to God and allow the reader to see their deepest and darkest secrets. These devotions will bring comfort in the knowledge that we are not alone in our struggles and pain. God is faithful and with us always, even our darkest times. I highly recommend this book.
