Loved this!

I am loving this pregnancy devotional。 It is exactly what I wanted。 I really wished the author had one for the first year of baby’s life!

Maresa

Wonderful book! I recommend to all first time Christian moms wanting to see their pregnancies through a spiritual lens。 Very encouraging and comforting devotionals。

This is a sweet and helpful devotional that was gifted to me at the start of my pregnancy。 Each entry had a Bible verse, brief passage, and 2 questions for reflection or suggestions for prayer。 I enjoyed using it, but as there are not 7 entries per week it was difficult to make it part of the morning routine。 On days when I felt I really needed it I'd run out of entries; on other occasions I'd forget all about it because of the inconsistency。 Still, I found it very helpful in calming my mind and This is a sweet and helpful devotional that was gifted to me at the start of my pregnancy。 Each entry had a Bible verse, brief passage, and 2 questions for reflection or suggestions for prayer。 I enjoyed using it, but as there are not 7 entries per week it was difficult to make it part of the morning routine。 On days when I felt I really needed it I'd run out of entries; on other occasions I'd forget all about it because of the inconsistency。 Still, I found it very helpful in calming my mind and focusing on God's plan for my child。 。。。more

Where, oh where was this book when I was expecting my kiddos? This is the sweetest, neatest devotional book I've ever seen for expecting mothers! It is not just a devotional, but also a journal where you can record your thoughts and feelings about your pregnancy。 For each week (starting at week 5), there are several paragraphs about what is happening developmentally with the baby and the mother's body。 Then there is a list of specific areas to pray about and praise God for。 Following the list is Where, oh where was this book when I was expecting my kiddos?

And the devotions it has within its cover are just wonderful!There are sections fo I love to get free books to review! I love to read, and so this helps keep my costs down, plus I get some amazing books I may never have checked out!My next favorite thing to do with these books is SHARE them! And guess what? I get to give away 2 copies of an amazing book!!Waiting in Wonder is a devotion book for expectant moms by Catherine Claire Larson! Oh, how I wish I had this adorable book about 12 years ago! And the devotions it has within its cover are just wonderful!There are sections for each trimester, which I like, so if you get a copy of the book already into your pregnancy, you can navigate to the trimester you are in! There is a journaling section for each devotion to inspire thoughts, and to give you a chance to write down dreams and ideas。 Each devotion begins with a scripture verse and then has a short devotion that will steer your thoughts back to the Ultimate Creator as you navigate through your pregnancy。The devotions often relate to the development phase of the baby at that time。 You will be encouraged to pray for fingertip formation in the second trimester, or for the practice breaths your baby is taking。 Not only do the devotions focus on your personal spiritual growth, your growth as a new (or old) mom, but also as a wife。 I loved that part too! Adding a baby to a family affects everyone and changes all the relationships, being encouraged to pray about those changes is a blessing!I really thought this book was adorable and delightful! I am so thrilled to offer two free copies to you! If you are not expecting, like me, do you know someone who is? It is such a cute book, it would make a great gift too! I cannot wait to give my copy to a friend who is expecting her first baby!!I cannot recommend this book any more – I just loved it!! I think every expectant mom would feel blessed to have a copy to treasure! NOTE: I received a copy from Thomas Nelson Publishers, in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
