Powerful Prayers for Your Daughter by Rob and Joanna Teigen

Our children need constant prayer in every aspect of their lives. This book contains 88 prayers that are geared specifically towards girls. The prayers focus on just about every subject you can think of from purity to bullying to discipline and much more. There are also real life prayer reflection stories included for further inspiration.

This book is a treasure! The prayers are heartfelt and backed up by scripture. This book can be used daily, no matter what your daughter is dealing with at any particular moment. You will want to keep it handy for encouragement and help in your prayer life. It is also a perfect gift to pass to a friend. I really enjoyed this beautiful book and will be rereading it often. Thank you so much to Revell for the chance to read and review this book!

Wooing Cadie McCaffrey by Bethany Turner

I really wanted to like this book, but it missed the mark for me. It's a romantic comedy movie in book form, which is right up my alley, but the characters just didn't connect with me. I found it unrealistic that Cadie and Will could give in to temptation so quickly after being pure with each other for four years. I also felt that Cadie was wishy-washy. One minute she wants over the top romance and the next minute it irritates her. I was Team Will throughout the whole book and felt like Cadie's problems with Will were minimal at best. The timeline of the book was also all over the place in the beginning and there were gaps in the story. This book is also a bit racy and controversial for a Christian publisher. I wish I would have been able to write a better review, but this is my honest opinion and I am still grateful to the publisher for the chance to review this book!

It's a Love Story by Lincee Ray

Lincee Ray's newest book is a collection of things she loves and how love and the lack of certain kinds of it has affected her life. This book is so nostalgic and had me reliving all kinds of memories from my past. Lincee is charming, candid, and so funny. She seems like she is the best friend everyone would like to have. This book wasn't at all what I was expecting. I thought it was going to be a typical love story, but it wasn't. Lincee's outlook on love and life is very insightful. I wasn't completely sold on the flow of this book and it read more like a memoir which I wasn't expecting. Nevertheless, it was an interesting read and Lincee is a talented writer. I especially liked the chapters about Lincee's dad, her Hallmark movie ideas, and her thoughts on Mary. Thanks so much to Revell for giving me the chance to review this book!

Imagine Heaven Devotional by John Burke and Kathy Burke

The Imagine Heaven Devotional is such a beautiful book, inside and out. The cover and binding are perfect and this is an ideal gift or collectible. There is also a ribbon bookmark included which I'm always happy to see in a book. Who doesn't love a built in bookmark?? This book is adapted from John Burke's 2015 bestseller. This unique devotional is not like any others that I've read. There are 100 devotional excerpts included and each one contains a near-death story, Scripture, and prayer. The stories told in this book are so eye-opening. This really does make you imagine what heaven will be like. It's interesting to see that most people who have had a near-death experience encounter the same types of emotions. I'm not fully sure of the validity of near-death experiences, but I do think this book is inspiring, especially for people who are dealing with loss or searching for peace. I enjoyed reading this and will be passing it along. Thank you so much to BakerBooks for the chance to read and review this book!
