My Review:

I enjoyed reading this beautifully-written devotional book.  The theme of fellowship with God, and with friends and family, can be found all the way throughout this book.  I loved the author’s personal stories and how she connected them to deeper spiritual truths that brought comfort and encouragement as I reflected on each one.  At the end of each day’s devotion, the author has included some “Table Tips” that included some hospitality and table decorating ideas.  There’s also a “going deeper” section for each devotion that guides the reader into how to incorporate the spiritual principles to daily life.  This book would make a lovely gift for any occasion.  This book has a place on my “favorites” bookshelf, and I know I’ll be reading it again when I need some encouragement for the day.

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