This is a good devotional. It gives you a verse and than some thoughts from the author. I do like how there are places to right or doodle your own thoughts.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this book in exchange for a review.

God Hears Her Creative Journaling Edition by Our Daily Bread Ministries is a Christian devotional that invites the reader to engage with their devotional through art. The drawings are simple but attractive, making it easy for individuals who want to do art devotionals, but feel overwhelmed with a blank page.

There is a devotional for each day with a reading for the day, a quote from the daily reading, and a reflection. The writing is conversational and positive. It is uplifting for those looking to start their day positively. This devotional is more relatable for women with children since many discuss motherhood, but still has some good bits for those who are not. I only wish there were reflection questions at the end of each devotional to engage beyond reading and art.

Many thanks to the publisher Our Daily Bread Publishing and Netgalley for the ARC in return for an honest review.

This beautifully designed, one-year devotional journal focuses on God's attentiveness to His people. Each daily reading includes a Scripture passage reference, a key verse, and a devotional that connects the Scripture to life. The devotionals are authored by favorite Our Daily Bread writers, experienced Bible teachers, and popular Christian authors, like Elisa Morgan. Lined and blank spaces throughout the book provide ample room to record personal reflections. Black line illustrations encourage the journaler to add color and creativity to this keepsake.

Each day's reading can be completed in a few minutes, making this a helpful resource, even for busy women. What an encouraging way to begin or end each day--reflecting on God's desire to hear us whenever we call to Him!

An advance, digital copy of this text was provided to me at no charge in exchange for my unbiased review.

A beautiful devotional journal that offers a great means for adding creating to your daily devotions. Well-written, well-designed. Some days have coloring with beautiful artwork to match the entries, and some days offer lines for you to add your own art. Love this daily art journal devotion. Highly recommended.

Each of the 365 devotions offer encouragement, inspiration, and assurance that God not only has beauty in store for your life but knows your heart deeply. Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this book.

Just wow! I opened this devotional, this journal not knowing what to expect, especially since it said that it was a creative journal. From the moment you open this creative devotional journal you will not only see beauty coloring pictures but space to do place your own creativity. Each day was a Bible verse with a story, a question or statement to mill over and then a space to draw, with the option of just coloring in the beautiful Bible verses. I can’t wait to get my own copy!

God Hears Her Creative Journaling Edition is a wonderful new journal from Our Daily Bread Ministries and one that I will most definitely be adding to my purchase list when it is released! This gorgeous combination of scripture, devotions and beautiful illustrations to color are just what I have been looking for as a creative addition to my morning devotion time. As someone who needs to keep her hands busy, the well thought out coloring segments will be a great way to not only read the scriptures but will help to commit them to memory as you use the creative side of your brain to color the various illustrations. For those who love bible journaling, adult coloring books or just having a chance to return to childhood coloring time this is the book for you! This is definitely a book to get in print as you, like me, will want to dive into the coloring pages right away.

God Hears Her is a great creative devotional for women of all ages. I'm a lover of coloring and note taking... this one offers both. I think it makes a wonderful start or finish to your day, giving you something to think on and be inspired by. The coloring pages and designs would be fun to color to unwind and relax, either in the morning before you start your to-do list or in the evening after a day of work.
If you love coloring and devotionals, I think you'll like this one!

Great devotional that lets you journal in it and it gives you a verse and a real life connection to what they are talking about.

Oh my goodness!! "God Hears Her Creative Journaling Edition" is truly amazing. I got it at the perfect time. The beginning of the New Year and I couldn't be happier. I started today so I read day one and day two today and since it's a journal through ebook. I grabbed a new journal notebook to write my thoughts as I read to go along with this great inspiration.

I flipped through to see some of the other days and I'm giddy over what this journal will help me through alongside my handy Bible.

Thanks Netgally and Our Daily Bread Ministries for another great tool to help me follow my faith journey.

I received the digital version to review. It would definitely be best to have the hard copy. There is a page for each day of the year with a short Bible verse and a message from one of the authors. There is a space for either blank space for doodling, lines for notes, or a drawing to color in. This would be great for a short encouragement each day and who loves to doodle or write notes.

I have always enjoyed journaling whether writing, drawing or doodling. It brings me closer to the Lord while offering encouragement and inspiration. God Hears Her Creative Journaling is an amazing book. Think about it Our Daily Bread created this wonderful opportunity to day by day build your relationship with God, read a devotion and then you have a Scripture with a beautiful sketch that you can review after the devotion and then color it. Depending on the reflection you get after the devotion I'm sure you will get direction on the color scheme.

You have space to write along side your coloring or you can create your own drawing from the Scripture the choice is yours. The only decision you have is open space for drawing or ruled lines for writing.
If you are looking for a devotion to bring you closer to the Lord and get you involved in coloring Scripture this is definitely it.
This book was provider by the publisher in exchange for my thoughtful & honest review.

God Hears Her Creative Journaling Edition is an inspired yearly devotional directly for women. Monthly themes are provided and then each day you are given a scripture and an interpretation of that scripture.

What makes this book unique is the creative design with the emphasis to make it your own. The monthly theme scripture has a full page devoted to it. The design is beautiful and is reminiscent of the adult coloring book style.

By taking the time to color the scripture you are cementing God's word in your heart. Other scriptures or important concepts are included randomly throughout the month to color.

You are also provided wide margins and lines to reflect upon the ideas shared and come up with your own strategies to impact your life. I liked that as this covered a whole year it could be a journal of your annual spiritual growth.

This journal drew you into to individualized worship by giving you space to reflect on the scripture and short story by making a connection back to yourself. The stories were current and dealt with issues that WOMEN face.

This journal is perfect for anyone looking for a little boost or even just a different way to worship. Your soul will truly be nourished, and peace can be achieved, as you take stock of where you are and do the work to get to where you want to be.

I was provided a free advance reader copy from Our Daily Bread Ministries in exchange for my honest review on Net Galley. The opinions shared in this review are my own.
