“Military families can be a powerful mechanism to reach the world with the message of Christ–not by the strength of the armed forces, but by the power of the gospel.”

“Stop and remind yourself: God ordained this ‘tent-dweller’ life because it is His call to you to cling to Him. You are to build as you go, but you are not building things that will perish and burn up; you are building a lifestyle that will depend daily on the Lord and be consecrated to Him–this is heavenly treasure.”

This book of 30 devotionals for military wives was a mixed bag for me. The devotional uses Abraham and Sarah and their story as a framework to talk about military life. There was of course truth and encouragement in this book, but some of the ways that Scripture was used bothered me. I felt that certain assumptions were made at times and that some of the comparisons were stretches. I was hoping for deeper theology and better exegesis.

I felt that the author of this title seemed to assume that each of the military wives she was writing to would be a new believer with very little biblical literacy, struggling with every basic thing about being a milspouse.

I could see this devotional being a helpful resource in some ways, but it just wasn’t quite what I was looking for.

Had a lot of problems with this book. I’ll be putting up a review on my Booktube channel. But brief overview, a lot of assumptions thrown in here to make her point and I don’t do that. We don’t assume with God’s word. Also a lot of stuff she was trying to specifically say about military wasn’t specific to just military, it’s just a universal thing with Christians in general.

Was hoping for a different kind of formatting when I saw 30 encouragements, like maybe a verse to go with certain situations and hard times and then the question and prayers at the end like she did. Not trying to teach a whole Bible study to me. Going to be a pass for me sorry.

Another Move, God? was hands down an amazing read. I love the way the author took the story of Sarah and explained the similarities between Sarah's life and being a wife to someone in the military. Each of the 30 encouragements are easy to read and is something that you can easily add to your day. This book should definitely be read by soon to be military wives, new military wives, and even those who have been a military wife for years

Thank you NetGalley, the author, and publisher for an ARC in exchange for my honest review
