Women of Courage: A Forty Day Devotional by Mary Carver and (In)Courage

I have been getting (In)Courage readings since they began and have often been inspired and encouraged by these on-line posts. While they are good to read, I am a huge fan of books (obviously) and it is so nice to have readings in a book form with the new Women of Courage forty day devotional.

This new Women of Courage devotional book does have forty days worth of devotionals in it. Each one starts with a brief Bible passage, followed by a heartfelt reading, and concludes with a prayer for the day. What I especially love about this book is that each reading features a woman from the Bible--both Old and New Testaments. Some have names like Leah, Ruth, Dorcas, and Esther, while we don't know the names of others like The Bleeding Woman or the Woman Caught in Adultery. Yet, each woman teaches us something about courageous living for God each day. The Women of Courage Forty Day Devotional also groups each of the readings into topical sections so you can just be encouraged by women of grace, hope, or women of gratitude, among others. In between the readings, there are also some beautiful black and white photos and the text has highlights in a bright color, which I also like. This book measures about 6 inches by 8 inches, which is also a great size to put alongside my Bible in my book bag. If you are like me, spending time with these women will surely inspire you to be brave and closer to God as you reflect on their lives and situations.

I was provided a copy of this book by B&H Publishing/Lifeway. All opinions are honest and my own.
