The One Year Book of Inspiration for Girlfriends: Juggling Not-So-Perfect, Often-Crazy, but Gloriously Real Lives (One Year Books)

This book is a bit older and hard to find. I like to give this devotional as a gift and was excited to find this one with this particular cover to gift to a friend. Shipping was quick and product was in perfect condition! Very excited to gift this book!

This is by far the best devotional book I've ever had (and I have owned plenty in my six decades on this earth)! The daily inspirations are grouped thematically, so they flow from one day to the next in a short series. They are timely for most age groups of adult women, as they touch on topics and issues that women face in their very real lives.I initially bought this as a gift for a close friend. When I thumbed through it, I deemed it a "must have" and purchased one for myself. I read it every day and think of my friend when I do; she does likewise...it's like reading in tandem and connecting spiritually although we are miles apart and talk only once a month or so.I have now purchased enough copies to give one each this coming Christmas to my "other" best girlfriends as well my two adult daughters.The black vinyl cover is a nice touch, as the book will show little wear when I read it again next year and the next and beyond.

Not as interesting as the cover photo makes it seem but it definitely has some great points. I have a love hate relationship with how it's divided into sub sections. If you randomly get the book in the middle of the year like I did, you may have to wait to start reading for a couple of days. On the plus side, the subtitles keep you on track about the topic. There are topics in the book that I can't exactly relate to, like divorce, but it still makes valid points.

This book is nothing how I thought it would be....and I'm really pleasantly surprised with how much I really like it and am getting out of it. I find this book very meaty ---- and where I think it is meant to read a page daily...I don't - I will read a page (or maybe two) at a time and really take time to think about them, sometimes a couple days before reading on. I love that this author really gives you thought about each page....being so "real" and to give you inspiration and direction to handle life. Thanks Ellen Miller...a great book to inspire me!

This was gifted to me by a girlfriend. I loved it so much I bought one for my mom. Then told another friend about it who bought it too.The topics vary just enough to keep you engaged, but are consistent enough that it makes an impact. This devotional touches on ALL and every aspect of a woman life. I highly recommend this devotional.

I really enjoy this. I plan to give it to some of my friends as a Christmas gift because it has been so good. If you are looking for some deep theological devotional, that is not what this is. This is more about real life day to day struggles and how to combat them. While there is a scripture reference for each day, the lessons are not built around the scripture. It is exactly what it says on the cover "Inspirations".

I gave this boo to about 10 of my girlfriends and we are truly enjoying it. We've started a FB book club where we talk about each day. This is such a great tool to keep us connected and to carve out a few minutes of our "not so perfect but glorious lives" to be intentional about our lives. It has allowed many of us to share our dreams and put action plans to move closer to manifesting our teams. WE LOVE IT!!!! Thanks Ellen Miller for sharing your life with us. Bless

This book was recommended to me by two different friends. I ordered it and immediately began by devotions according to the dates in the book. Some of the information I read, however, is inconsistent with Scripture. For example, the book suggests that rather than complaining all of the time, give yourself something like an hour each week when you can complain and be negative. In the same reading however, the verse that says to do everything without complaining is listed. If God says we're to do everything without complaining, he doesn't mean we can have an hour a week where we are exempt from His command. There were a few devotionals that left me frustrated because of minor inconsistencies with scripture. Eventually, I stopped reading the devotional.
