Here is what I thought......

I have really enjoyed this devotional. I like how it is broken down into 52 different readings that you could do once a week or once a day depending on how you would like to do your devotions. I liked the look of the book and the way it is laid out. I also enjoyed the topics that Dr. Caruana touched on.

I really have enjoyed reading some of these, even though I am still parenting younger children. I think that any parent could read and apply this devotional. I would give this as a gift to parents of teens who are closer to leaving the nest. This would be a great gift for Mother's day! I received this from Lit Fuse for free. A positive review was not required. All opinions are my own.
