Review of “The Anne of Green Gables Devotional” by Rachel Dodge

Devotional Inspiration Especially for Kindred Spirits

The Anne of Green Gables Devotional offers lovely inspiration that explores the theme of God’s love and faithfulness through the pages of the classic L. M. Montgomery novel, cherished by generations of readers. Each reading corresponds with a chapter from the book and invites you to embrace God’s redemptive plans for your life as His very own adopted daughter in Christ.

This beautiful 40-day devotional includes original artwork throughout, and each reading includes examples from the novel, scripture, life application, prayers, and discussion questions perfect for groups, book clubs, or personal reflection. It’s perfect as a personal read or gift for a bosom friend!

My Review:
In this heart-touching book, Rachel Dodge has given us a thoughtful and encouraging devotional for “kindred spirits” everywhere.


If you are a devoted fan of the “Anne of Green Gables” series, this devotional is a must-read.  The book itself is a hardcover book that has lovely graphic designs and illustrations that capture the heart of each chapter.
But it’s the inspiring devotions that brightly shine all throughout the book.  As you read through “Anne of Green Gables”, the devotions accompany and expand on each chapter.  There’s a “personal application” for each day, as well as a written prayer and scripture verses.  There’s discussion questions included for each chapter, and a glossary entitled “The World According to Anne Shirley”.  


This book would be great to read with a young lady, or even a group of young ladies, as a faith-based book study of “Anne of Green Gables.”  I’m going to take time myself to read “Anne” again a chapter a day and read these devotions along with it.  This book shouldn’t take the place of a regular, deeper Bible study, but who couldn’t use the hope and optimism that L.M. Montgomery shared with us in the vivid character of “Anne”?  This author uncovered for us the deeper spiritual applications from that novel that we can apply to our lives each day.


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