Peace in the Storms of Life by Julie Rayburn


Chances are pretty good that in one way or another that right now you are facing a storm of some sort in your life as we navigate the corona virus challenges in our world. Peace in the Storms of Life by Julie Rayburn is an uplifting devotional full of readings that can help keep your mind on God during this challenging time.

Peace in the Storms of Life contains 125 devotional readings. Each devotional starts with a Bible verse, moves on to a short reading, and concludes with a few questions to ask yourself for the day. Purple and green are two of my very favorite colors and as you can see from this cover picture, this devotional is covered in gorgeous wisteria and vines. However, it is even better that each devotional continues this gorgeous color picture throughout the book.

Peace in the Storms of Life is truly full of encouraging words for women. I just love the beauty combined with the short readings. I have heard several people say that they are struggling to focus and read right now. I have too. I liked that these readings are indeed short but packed full of Scripture and uplifting thoughts that keep me centered on God and living for Him each day through these challenges I am facing--and everyone else. The questions are also good if you want to take time to journal alongside the devotional. I also appreciate the ribbon marker inside to help me keep my place. I think this would make a great gift book too. Peace in the Storms of Life would especially be nice in a basket with a purple journal, tea cup and a box of tea or something similar suited to the recipient.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.

  Loyally, Luke by Pepper Basham is the third book in the epistolary series following Authentically, Izzy and Positively, Penelope.I have been anxiously awaiting this book and pretty much squealed when it came in the mail! Luke Edgewood is a guy who works in the construction industry and has remodeling skills. He wears flannel and he likes his dogs and he likes his sisters--but he isn't romantic like they are. Or so he says.In Loyally, Luke, Luke goes to Skymar to work a construction job on a orphanage that happens to be in a castle. He also has a run-in with a Princess as he comes in to the country with a migraine in desparate need of coffee--so yeah, that didn't go so well. Later, he finds out that the Grace Kelly look-alike coffee snob is also his co-worker on the orphanage project.Thus begins his own adventure in Skymar, following Izzy and Penelope.  I really enjoyed Loyally, Luke . I enjoyed this whole series. I do think the series is best enjoyed read in order to truly a...

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for Love Overboard by Shannon Sue Dunlap, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours ! My Review: Four older women retire and live year-round on a cruise ship. Together, they are called The Shippers, and they are the matchmakers on the ship. Lacey Anderson is the ship's hostess and Jonathan King is the Cruise director of the ship. Lacey and Jonathan knew each other from another ship. Sparks fly but there are some complications that seem to be difficult to overcome--but The Shippers are a determined group of ladies. At the same time, there is a mystery of who is smuggling cocaine on the cruise line. Are they on this ship? Love Overboard offers a mix of romance, humor, and mystery to the reader. I enjoy older people so I especially liked The Shippers in this book. I also was rooting for Lacey and Jonathan. I enjoyed getting to know the ship crew as well as the other characters. There was a couple of twists near the end of the book that I didn't ...
