How I found this book and why I selected it.

I saw this lovely book while browsing the shelves at my local Barns & Noble. The title and sub-title gave a great promise, and I was curious to read the individual devotions.

What did I love about it?

Thompson writes with the voice of a trusted friend explaining life topics to you.

Each devotion begins with a well-selected bible verse.

A great storyteller, she draws pictures of relatable situations. She switches between examples of well-known heroes of the faith or inserts depictions of realistic life situations to help the reader see their situation from the scriptures’ perspective.

Each ends with a short prayer, bringing the truth full circle and allowing God to finish the work in the reader.

What I didn’t like about it?

I would have loved this devotional by Thompson in my twenties and into my thirties. Kinda bummed it didn’t exist then. Is that silly to say?

Who would want it?

Unashamed is an excellent devotional for the young woman stepping into adulthood to thirty-something. Some examples budding adults and young mothers can glean from. Thompson covers many life examples that can feed the soul over a couple of decades. *As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

I would’ve cherished Unashamed in my twenties, and so glad to have read it in my – well, later in life. 😊

Who would not want it?

Maybe not the devotional for the older woman — whatever that age is now. 🙂 I’ll let you decide!

And this is not written for men, but I can see how there is some overlap.

Did it bear fruit?

I felt uplifted page by page and filled with confidence from God’s word, explained and proclaimed.

There are a lot of seeds to gather in this 90 devotional keeping the reader returning to it again and again.

Dog laying down, nose between the pages of a book, to look like he is reading it.

Update on the devotional my husband and I are reading together. <– Link here. We are thriving with the reflection of old experiences and repurposing the lessons learned over our marriage. (Maybe that is called tilling the ground. 🙂 )

We still recommend it for any stage of marriage.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope this issue of Devotional Reviews has blessed you or given you a gift idea for someone you know!
