A beautifully put together devotional. These are shorter, lighter devotionals. I loved the morning and night format, it was a wonderful way to bookmark my day! I wish they would have focused more on Christmas, instead of regular life, but these were a great way to keep my heart in the right place during the busy season. 3.5⭐️

I thought that this was a nice devotional, and perfect for Christmas time. The morning and evening devotionals were thought provoking, I like that it encouraged me to start and end my day with Christ, and I liked that they weren’t too long. I plan on using this devotional again

Great short daily devotional. This is perfect for someone newer to advent or Christianity. Would recommend to newer believers.

This book was sent to me electronically by Netgalley for review. I love this book. Enough said. However, my suggestion would be to read several days at a time...then go back and read again.

I received this book from the publisher through Netgalley for review and all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Devotional in style, this timely book is a blessing to read with morning and evening selections. Encouraging for us all as we face this season with so much unknown in our countries. The focus is Joy. This joy that we have is Christ-centered. Highly recommend as a gift for yourself or others this year.

A short and sweet yet disappointing Christmas - Advent morning and evening women’s daily devotional. This devotional is written by women for women from Our Daily Bread, to regenerate the heart, soul, mind throughout the month of December. The introduction is from a mother who was struggling financially and wanted to purchase something to give her children on Christmas Day. The ebook is linked to the appropriate page of the reading of the morning or evening. Each morning and evening gives the readers the scripture reading with a written reflection of the scriptures. I am disappointed as there’s no indication of meditation focused for reflection, no prayers or similar verses to look up to or even any reflection questions that we can reflect and ponder by ourselves or as a group or even mother-daughter.

This advent calendar of devotionals is a great gift for Christmas. It has morning and evening devotional which is really nice. They are small, having a short story about Christmas and a lesson with them. I think this would be a great gift for a ladies church group before the holiday season.

This was a great book. Good combination of authors. A perfect book for the season. Uplifting and unique.

This is a fantastic edition and makes me want to get the other books in this series. I really love the size of these devotions. It’s not overwhelming and it even has a one sentence summary at the end you can write down somewhere if you want to. Having a morning and a evening devotion was especially helpful as well. I think a lot of people read their morning devotion and move on and by nighttime we’ve forgotten about it. This ensures you are getting two small devotions a day which I like more than one larger one. Thank you for this and God bless!

I absolutely love this book! A definite must-read for any Christin woman who wants to experience the JOY of the season of Christmas. It provides a daily morning AND evening reading that will help get your heart in the right place at Christmastime. I love that the book is in an easy-to-read format, it's beautiful (I'll be ordering a hardcover for myself), and can easily be added to another devotion that you may be doing. A wonderful Advent book! Thank you for allowing me to read and review!

God Hears Her, A joyful Christmas by Our Daily Bread

As Christmas approaches, most of get that excited glow and joy that comes with Christmas. Does that joy come from the expectation of the Christmas tree and the gifts under it.? This book will remind us of the true joy of Christmas. The day God sent his Son to be born in a manger is the true joy of Christmas.

This devotional filled with passages from the Bible and short stories of how the verses relate to us now are broken down into morning and evening segments. What a great way to start and end your day.

I hope this book brings you joy that lasts a lifetime.

I was given the joy of reading this book by the publisher and NetGalley. The review is my own.

A fabulous daily Christmas devotional, it has readings for both mornings and evenings. A small passage from the bible followed by thoughts from a Christian author, I have read God sees her and this is similar but Christmas based.
I have only had a brief look through because I really want to start reading this properly in December.

Oh my goodness!!! Run! Don’t walk, to get your copy as soon as possible! Each morning and evening scripture and accompanying anecdote, is quick, easy reading. Very timely,insightful. I felt as though this devotional was written specifically for me. Well written, flows easily from morning to evening and day to day. A great devotional for any time of the year, honestly. Well done ladies!

I absolutely loved God Hears Her: A Joyful Christmas by Our Daily Bread. God Hears Her: A Joyful Christmas is a 31 day morning and evening devotional. Each devotion has a Scripture Reference and a supplemental reading with a Christmas twist to go with it. This book is part of the "God Hears Her" series that Our Daily Bread has created. I used this book as part of my personal devotion time and highly recommend it. Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read this book. (My review is also on Goodreads.)

I received this from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This is a wonderful devotion for the month of December. It will prepare you for the Holiday,but it also opened a new way of looking at very familiar scriptures.

This is the Christmas book that every woman needs. Amidst all the chaos of today's world, spending time reading this book each day is the feeling of peace and calmness that we all need.

This is a really lovely book of devotions for the Advent season. There are two per day (morning and evening). I liked this book so much that I've bought a physical copy of it.

An incredible gift to give but heavens, I'd love to get this as a gift myself! What an awesome way to center yourself for the reason of the season (and everything) with these easy, short devotions. For anyone who says they don't have time, I challenge you to find fault with this book and not fall in love!

Our Daily Bread is a favorite daily devotion and this Christmas/Advent devotional they have put together is amazing. Twice daily devotions/scripture, mixed with real life stories make this a great gift or devotional for anyone during the holiday season.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

God Hears Her, A Joyful Christmas
31 Morning and Evening Devotions
by Our Daily Bread, Anne Cetas, Elisa Morgan, Xochitl Dixon, Patricia Raybon, Lori Hatcher, Bree Rostic
Our Daily Bread Publishing
Women will cherish the insightful and heartening messages of joy for the Christmas season, written for them by female authors for The Daily Bread. The eighteen women wrote both morning and evening devotions for each day of the month of December.
The format is visually pleasing, with each entry introduced by a date, Bible verse and passage. The authors then share an engaging related story inspired by people such as grandmothers, missionaries and church friends. A short, meaningful takeaway relating to joy provides a conclusion for each.
December can be a bustle of activity and events, and this book provides gentle reminders on God's presence with us during our anticipation. Praise, prayer, rejoicing, and generosity are encouraged as we find the light of the season. Keeping this book close in December would certainly enhance the daily rituals of women seeking to stay calm and focused while preparing for and celebrating Christmas.
Thank you to Net Galley and Our Daily Bread for the advance reader's copy and opportunity to provide my honest review.
