My life has been a hot mess lately. Health issues, work problems, financial difficulties, broken relationships. I have never felt so many moments during which I want to give up all and simply disappear. What sustains me in the middle of an ocean of troubles, blows from every corner and non-existent support by people I thought were friends? My faith. It gives me strength to take a deep breath every day, to foster a secret hope that everything will become whole again.

This little book is a true treasure for every Christian women despite denominations. I am Greek Orthodox and yet, I find great comfort reading Catholic devotionals and testimonies. They speak to our fragile humanity, deepening the connection between a believer and Our Lord, testifying to His most human moments.

I read blessings during my commute to work. God knows I need them... Written in powerful, flowing, direct and calming language, they made me feel a little safer, a little less desperate. I have copied pages and pages from the volume in my Bible to comfort me and sustain me along with my own prayers. Because the only thing that makes my life beautiful at this moment is the connection to the presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. They never fail you.

Humans ALWAYS do.

Many thanks to Our Daily Bread Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a good book for the days we wonder about our lives today. Even for how we feel every day. I felt a lot of peace while reading it.

On my recent journey getting closer to God, I started to really enjoy devotional and encouraging messages that apply to everyday life. This book provides great insight and is very inspiring.

I want to say right away this book was not for me. I feel like this would be best read/experienced by someone with a traditional faith in God. What I mean by "traditional" is that I enjoy books that are more personal and inviting. Coming at God and religion from a more casual point of view. This book felt old school and structured. Something a mother would have had on her bookshelf in the 90s. The floral motif adds to that feeling of nostalgia. Overall, I can appreciate the time and effort the person put into their book and I have no doubt it will find the right audience.

This is the perfect devotional to start each day. Each day has a scripture , a blessing and a prayer. I loved how organized it it and how the author include such important prayers designed for women. This is a lovely addition to your faith based library.

An excellent read for any and all readers! Author comes at you with both barrels and knocks you out of your shoes! Great job fleshing out all the characters. I give this book FIVE stars! Definitely recommend!

Blessings for Women is a beautiful way to begin each day. Written by Anna Haggard, each daily entry includes scripture, an anecdotal blessing and a prayer. Short and concise, this book could be considered a perfect way to add Jesus to your day, or it could stand as a great accompaniment to your current time with the Lord.
