Where I found this book and why I selected it
Grocery shopping at my local Walmart, I decided to look through the devotionals in their book section. This tiny book with a bold statement for a title grabbed my interest.
Plus, it is short, but more about that later…
What did I love about it?
I loved its price — $4.99 plus tax.
It is pocket-sized – or purse-sized.
It is only about 70 pages.
It has twelve devotions, that is it. Twelve.
Why would someone want twelve devotions? Like the tile suggests, and the authors explain, when times are difficult, we need to lean into the truth of God. There are common reactions to life that make us lead with Fear, Regret, and Anxiety, to name three of the twelve topics.
Each topic follows this simple yet ministering layout.
The topic, say Anxiety, opens with a well-known quote or not so well-known. (To this reader, anyway.)
Next is an explanation of the topic and what our actual response can be to it, followed by a prayer.
Then there are three to four fitting bible verses to reflect upon. The topic wraps up with another famous quote, but these are sometimes a quote from the bible.
What I didn’t like about it?
I loved it, so this section is a pass for me.
Who would want it?
This is great for anyone, male or female. Teen or adult.
Who would not want it?
Ya, can’t think of anyone.
Did it bear fruit?
Yes, this tiny devotional made me tear up and take a new perspective on some things.
It is a treasure to have at hand when feeling overwhelmed by life.

Until next week, keep Walking on Mustard Seeds,

Congratulations on your publication!
I like small books. I just finished Confidently You which is taken from the large version and is only 100 pages. I never finished the large version.
I don’t have any other ideas in place of devotions but I’ll let you know if something comes to mind.
Thanks for confirming that short devotionals are a better option for you. That is helpful. And thank you for the congratulations on the publication. 😁 I appreciate it!
