I liked this book. It had some good tips on decluttering and how to let go mentally. I like the mindset tips they gave and how it was infomative

Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complimentary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!

This book contains short devotionals for each day. This book contains scripture to go along with each devotional. This book was okay but not the best devotional I’ve read.

This devotional focuses on Christian living. Each devotional includes a few verses, about two paragraphs about the passage and its application, and a short prayer. The “declutter” title involves decluttering worries, self-reliance, and perfectionism, for example. I found the book quite repetitive and surface-level. The author did not offer anecdotes, which I do not mind, but I felt that it made the consistent use of “friend” to address the reader seem forced. I also realized I prefer numbers or days denoting progress at the top of devotionals; this book will require a bookmark. While this was not for me, I hope it falls into the hands of women who need to hear about God’s daily provision and grace.

Thank you NetGalley and Barbour Publishing for the advanced copy. All opinions are my own.

This was an interesting, surface deep devotional. There is nothing stretching here or anything revolutionary. I was hoping for more of the declutter ideology- I think it would an interesting mixture with scripture. However, this missed the mark.

I have a lot of devotions and always looking for something new. We all have clutter rather it’s physical, mental or emotional. I love this one and the pictures of plants I will read this over and over. I recommend this book.

First off… This Is A Devotional!



If you are looking for instructions or a list of steps to take to declutter that is NOT what I felt this book is.



What will this book have for you? It will have a short devotional that you can do before you tackle your day that will give you some thought provoking things to ponder. A verse to memorize? A prayer to start your day with and maybe some time with God to start working on your heart and life to begin your journey to a less cluttered life. Also, possibly reflecting enough to start to get to the core of your clutter. 



When I began to read the first day devotional… I have to admit I felt judged. Some of the scripture is out of context and definitely used to be convicting. I think part of how I felt is a knee jerk reaction to my clutter. I have deep emotions regarding it. Everyday I begin to tackle an area or a pile I struggle. Mine is not greed related it’s more memories and sentimental mixed in with things my adult kids left behind and a few… I can use that again someday. I am more mindful of what I buy these days. 



Sometimes I have good days where I accomplish a lot. Other I have bad days where it’s all I can do to just maintain the areas I’ve already worked on. It is an everyday battle. I can only hope I will be done in the near future and be thankful for how God has worked with me through it and allowed me to grow in many ways.



I feel this book has a purpose in bringing thoughtfulness to your day, your struggle with clutter and most of all your relationship with God.



I especially loved the prayers…

Daily bible verses and talk about how each one helps you to remember things like letting go of possessions and to work harder, not smarter. It quickly felt redundant to me. Green clip art illustrations. It specifically addresses women, assuming I suppose that women are the only ones doing housekeeping and needing to declutter. This will probably be a better fit as a devotional than an actually useful declutterring book.

I read a digital version of this book for review purposes.
