Review of “Hope Your Heart Needs” by Holley Gerth

Book Description from BookBub:

Understanding more of God’s character and how he loves us changed bestselling author Holley Gerth’s life in beautiful, powerful ways. She realized that she didn’t have to settle for “I’m fine” when there was someone whispering to her in every moment, “You’re mine.” The hope, joy, peace, and purpose she longed for were already there, in the heart of God.

Now in 52 devotional readings, Holley shares with women the answer to the restlessness they feel in their hearts that keeps them hurrying, striving, pushing. She shows them that “the God who scattered stars like diamonds across the velvet of the universe, the keeper of every sparrow, the maker of us all, is inviting us to draw closer to him. He is the place where our hearts can go on the hard days and the happy ones, in the highs and lows, when we are sad or frustrated or downright giddy. He is what we’ve been searching for all along.”

My Review:

These 52 devotions by Holley Gerth are beautiful and inspiring. In Holley’s flowing, personal writing style, she guides us to think on God’s character as the reason for our hope.  Each devotion has a passage from scripture and ends with a prayer based on that day’s topics.  These devotions are not written for a deep Bible study, but rather to be that sweet encouraging nudge to help us get through a day, week, or season when we find ourselves needing encouragement.  I’ll be reading this book again, one devotion at a time.  The title “Hope Your Heart Needs” is the perfect title for this book.  This book would also be a great gift for a woman in any season of life.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
